I've had the pictured discoloration on lower third of both feet for 2 weeks now. Originally had ringworm type infection around the perimeter. Pretty clear shoes are somehow involved as the discoloration conforms almost exactly to shoe height.  I suspect the shoes got wet and some fungus or bacteria infested the shoes.

Any suggestions?  I remember seeing cautions here before that some of the antiseptic creams are not appropriate for fungal infections.

That looks very bad,and maybe more than fungus,have you had a Doctor

see it,if not i would,looks like fungus on the big toe but the rest of your foot

is something else.

As Worgeordie says & definitely see a doc.

 

Tomorrow.

 

Sheryl will no doubt give her excellent - as always, advice.

You had better see a dermatologist.

And I just wanted to have my supper........? You should cut your toenails, and perhaps give it a bath. dude. Your foot is astonishing. 

One more for Dermatologist. 

 

 

After a chat with my wife. She said that mixing warm water with vinegar will help. It's clear from wet shoes. But don't use creams, let it heal from alone.

Is there a staff dermatologist at BCH?  

Really impressed with BCH last time I went there.

 

almost looks like bleeding under  the skin, caused by improper footwear...just not mangy enough for athletes foot.  Show us your sho es, might be a good laugh.

I'm wondering how your  blood circulation is?

Skip breakfast.

Circulation is good, thanks.   I suspect some form of ringworm which I got on the top of my foot a number of years ago from floodwater after a night of torrential rain.

I will see a Dermatologist right away.

 

Thanks all for the observations and suggestions.

they can take a slide, scrape your foot, incubate, then confirm fungus or not..you may have a little, but looks more like a vascular situation..but could easily be horrible shoes and a long walk...nice Cankles.

Good luck Brother.

 

I sure  hope it's not as painful as it looks.

Yes, though I can't give you a specific name.

 

At St Louis, nearby, Dr. Parichart is good.

I'd second that re Dr. Parichart at St. Louis as an excellent dermatologist. Been to see her quite a few times about a variety of minor skin things over the years, and she's been on the ball every time, correct diagnosis, correct treatments, problems resolved/solved. Trained in the UK. Speaks good English. Easy to talk with. And she's got hours there most days of the week, so easy to find there.
