fluid filled blisters on left foot

I have been having this weird problem for about 8 months or so,I have these fluid filled blisters(not friction blisters) they some how just start filling up with this yellow clear liquid and hurt.This time the out break has been the far worst yet there are 5 this time. It happens only on the left foot.If I break them they itch real bad and burn and it leaves a hole under the blister almost the size of the tip of my pinky,if i try not to scrach them and let them dry up it takes about 10 days if it does not get infected.  They tend to heal up before I get to my doctors appointment.I did take some pictures but i am not to sure if I can post them here and i am not sure how to do that either.Has any one ever heard of this before. This is not a friction blister.

i started off about a week ago with blisters caused by wearing shoes, but since  then i have popped the blisters and allowed them to heal and everything went perfect. until i happen to look at the one on my left foot today and i noticed i got another blister, for the most part i have been inside and not wearing any footwear. i have barely moved from my desk. so i know it wasnt from friction or anything along those lines, but when i popped this blister the liquid wasnt clear like the other blisters it was a thick sticky white liquid. when i popped it there was no pain what so ever and still isnt but im not able to understand how i have gotten this blister as i have not been on my feet and also cant explain the white liquid that has come out of it

did you not READ what the guy is saying he has???Its not from friction, its not from pressure. I have the same problem, and you docs are all still talking about blisters from shoes!!! How do you become a doctor with such terrrible reading comprehension? Anyways, I would like an answer to his question as well, as I have the same symptoms. They show up randomly on different parts of the left foot, mostly the outsides.

Hi,

Blisters on the feet are usually due to excessive friction and pressure. Other causes of blisters include: primary irritants, skin inflammation due to allergic contact with substances such as poison ivy or poison oak, burns, insect bites, viral infections such as herpes or varicella or severe systemic conditions that require immediate medical attention. Keep the area clean and dry. If the blister feels painful, tepid soaks using a hypertonic solution or astringent, such as water and Epsom salts, may aid in resolution.

It would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Treatment is usually dependent on the underlying cause. Take care and keep us posted.
