Q. What is the management of sore in the foot?
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old female with weight 209.44 Ibs. I have a sore in the right foot in which the skin is coming off and is irritating. Also I have a slim like substance that builds up. The smell is really bad.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. This condition is known as pitted keratolysis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is a superficial skin infection, caused by Corynebacterium species.
Take the following treatment. Kindly consult your doctor, to discuss the suggestions and take the treatment with consent.
1. Cream Mupirocin apply once at night.
2. Benzoyl peroxide 5 % gel apply once in the morning.
Do this for three weeks, and try to keep the foot dry, avoid tight-fitting footwear, basically try to minimize the sweating on the occlusion part.
