A member asked:

I have a blister like bump on the side of my foot that is the size of a pea that is soar what could it be...my boyfriend says scabies?

A wart?: Its not scabies. The skin on the side of the foot is probably too hard for scabies to penetrate. Scabies usually leaves a trail of nodules as it burrows underneath the skin.

Could be many : Things. Could be a blister from a shoe rubbing, without seeing can't really make a diagnosis. If there is only one blister you can with a sterile instrument drain it and out antibiotic ointment and a bandaid. If other lesions arise or if it does not improve see a doctor.
