How to treat itchy fluid-filled blisters on feet?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I think I have dyshidrotic eczema on my feet, but the little bubbles are starting to get bigger, and the skin around them is cracking, along with one of the bubbles oozing. I have been moisturizing and cleaning it and keeping it covered with bandages, but it does not seem to be getting better.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please follow the treatment mentioned below.

  • Apply Desonide lotion (if oozing lesions) at night for two weeks, and Fusidic acid cream twice daily for seven days (if signs of infection or oozing).
  • Apply emollient or moisturizer twice a day for two weeks. Avoid excessive use of harsh soap. Use mild soap.
  • Apply moisturizing lotion (skin first moisturizing lotion) immediately after bath for 20 days.
  • Take tablet Loratadine 10 mg after breakfast for ten days, tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg at night for seven days (if itching). It is an eczematous dermatitis.

Follow up for any doubts. Is there any aggravation factor?

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
