Sore foot... been weeks.. not healing...

[dompeter80]

Hi I have a foot problem, it started before Halloween, it's Nov 24 now. It started with a blister from my shoe… the toe was a few days later. I was scratching a snag on my cuticle… 3 days later I noticed a big blister. My doctors gave me Clindamycin but it hasn't helped me much. here are some pictures of my foot. Please help me. I also have a skin condition called "incontinentia pigmenti", an x linked dominant chromosome disorder, but I don't know if it is related. Don't know if it is staph or fungal, Please help.

I think there might be staph in my blood because remember almost 3 months ago, I got my tatoo and 4 days later got a cluster of bumps, 2 days later there was 20 and spreading around my torso, I was put on a 10 day cycle of antibiotics to take 2 z a day with instructions that if I got a fever to go to the ER ASAP.

Pictures of my toe...

If there is infection the bacteria need to be cultured. It is unlikely that oral antibiotics will be helpful for a toe infection. You need to be evaluated by both a podiatrist and an infectious control specialist ASAP. You might end up with a toe, foot or leg  amputation. This nothing to fool around with.

There is a relatively new product on the market - Microcyn.  It is a fluid and can be purchased over the counter and can perform miracles.  It will kill fungi and all bacteria and virus'.  The company name is Oculus, Inc.  You can go to YouTube and search for the name for more information on this product.  You can order the veterinary formula which is Vetericyn VF.  This may pass customs easier and it costs less.

Good luck.
