What kind of foot disease might it be if my mom's foot skin is decaying every day and it’s hurting and burning?
Hi prajakta…Though, its difficult to assess the real problem with your mom, however,i would suggest you to get her diabetes and thyroid test done at the earliest. If possible,get her Vit D3 N Vitamin B12 measured with the same blood test. If all comes within the limit, try following Homoeopathic medicines for few months,(1)Nux Vomica 200C7 pills at bed time, once for 15 days.(2) Sulpur 200C7 pill next morning when she wakes up prior to brushing teeth for 15 days.(3) Gun powder 3x(Germany)2 tab 3 times for 2 months.Tell her to avoid non veg foods completely with hydrating 12 glass of water atleast, everday.If possible, give her CoQ 10 (Coenzyme Q10) in 300mg OD at bed time continue for atleast 2 years or long. Though, It's a costly antioxidant but extreemly beneficial for our vital organs.You can buy it from Amazon(Go for good USA brand only). I personally use it for my mom n dad since long for their heart,skin and longevity…I am sure you mom would regain healthy and disease free feet agin….Report me after 15 days….you can ask me any other health related question if you feel like (as you sound bit gloomy)You can search me online on google too.N ya, i feel happy to see you so much concerned about your parents…Stay blessed.Dr.Pramod Shanker SoniBhopal.
Peeling foot skin. What causes it and is it serious?
Signs and symptoms The signs and symptoms of athlete's foot can be numerous, although you probably won't have all of them: Itching, stinging and burning between your toes, especially the last two toes Itching, stinging and burning on the soles of your feet Itchy blisters Cracking and peeling skin, especially between your toes and on the soles of your feet Excessive dryness of the skin on the bottoms or sides of the feet Nails that are thick, crumbly, ragged, discolored or pulling away from the nail bed Causes A group of fungi called dermatophytes causes athlete's foot. These organisms sprout tendril-like extensions that infect the superficial layer of the skin. In response to this fungal growth, the basal layer of the skin produces more skin cells than usual. As these cells push to the surface, the skin becomes thick and scaly. Most often, the more the fungi spread, the more scales your skin produces, causing the ring of advancing infection to form. Also called tinea pedis, ringworm of the foot and dermatophytosis, athlete's foot is closely related to other fungal skin conditions, most with similar names. Tinea is a type of fungus, and pedis is the Latin word for "foot."
Foot skin deteriorating. What the heII do I do?
This is what the bottom of my feet currently look like: be advised this picture is kinda nasty, the black dots are from my black cotton socks. link to pic >> http://i.imgur.com/MpRKu.jpg The skin has deteriorated and definitely hurts to put weight on or squish. The only thing that could have recently affected my feet is the warm summer weather and sweaty days. I have no history of foot fungi or athletes foot or anything of the sort. If you have any medical advice or could possibly tell me how to treat this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
The skin at the ball of my foot is torn, how long would it take to heal ?
Put Neosporin or a gel that helps it heal faster (I forget what it's called, but there is a product in gel form that makes cuts heal faster). Basically, keep it moist so it doesn't get dry and crack more. When you're active/out doing something, put a bandage on it so that you don't get any dirt in it. When you're at home relaxing and not going to do anything for a while, take the bandage off so that it will get air and heal faster. It should be a lot less sore after it gets a layer of skin over it again, just give it a day or two (but be careful that you don't scrape it again and take off that layer). BTW... Did you win the game??
