Strange discoloration on my toes

by mikez0131, May 13, 2008 12:06AM
I've had these dry red blotches on my toes mostly around the knuckle areas for a few years now. They do not itch at all so i dont know whether its a fungus or not. Some days they are redder than usual and sometimes they are less noticeable. I have no idea what it could be. Any ideas?

Hi,

Do the lesions itch? Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you taken any medications for the lesions?

Have you changed your shoes recently?

You should keep the areas clean, wear cotton socks to avoid sweating, use a powder to keep the areas dry , use calamine lotion at the sites. Oral antihistamine medications would help if the lesions are itchy.

If your symptoms persist it would be best to consult a skin specialist because nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.

No they do not itch at all. I cant find any information on the web at all about this issue. I may be able to take a picture with of them sometime later and post it. Thanks for the reply.
