Warning Signs Of Athlete's Foot

Blisters Or Ulcers

A third indication of athlete's foot is blisters or ulcers. You may have both or just one of the two. These painful blemishes typically develop on the soles of the feet or between the toes. Blisters may be quite red or a lighter shade if they're filled with pus. Ulcers may also have a red appearance. They might also smell poorly, particularly when they burst. Ulcers could potentially leak fluid as well, which should be immediately cleaned up to prevent further infection both for yourself and others.

Because of their locations, both blisters and ulcers can be painful, especially the more they are touched. They can develop due to a consistent amount of itching that has damaged the skin and allowed the infection to become worse, or they may develop on their own simply because the fungus has damaged the area enough and the body is doing what it can to fight it off. There are creams available to help relieve the pain of these blemishes though you should speak with your doctor first.
