blisters on big toes
My big toes were inflamed and then turned into blisters. There is no itching involved. Does anyone know what this is?
I went to my dermatologist yesterday and he took fluid out of the blisters and sent out a culture. He suspects it is a bacterial event. Have an appointment in two weeks to discuss results. Will keep you informed.

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to blood blister, Gram negative toe web infection, Cellulitis or Gout. Gout causes swelling and pain in the feet along with red, swollen big toe that hurts when anything touches it. You need to get it examined from a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. The fluid from the blisters may be sent for microscopic examination.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
