Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi all, Okay, I've seen a lot of posts on here about feet lately. I have a question. I have developed some tiny blisters that itch like nobody's business...BUT only on one foot. They remind me of some blisters I get on my hands from time to time - after they pop they leave a little dark spot for a while and the skin usually peels. I discussed my hands with the local nurse practitioner and she said she had seen it once before and thought it was connected to the psoriasis. I talked to my rheumy about it the next time and he didn't think so. So, I guess I'm asking if I need to find a dermatologist to consult or if this is not really anything to worry about - just irritating - and maybe if I've came in contact with something that's got me broken out - which strikes me as odd with it being ONE FOOT ONLY. *gotta love it* Jenn in Arkansas [Editor's Note: Sure sounds like psoriasis to me. Psoriasis doesn't need to be symetrical so it striking one foot only would not be at all out of character. Whether it is psoriasis, the crud or some other evil thing doesn't matter - it sounds like you need a dermatologist to figure out what it is and get you some treatment for it.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Jean Just to let you know that I get the same condition on my feet. It was diagnosed as pompholyx. I guess it is related to psoriasis Dianne Canberra Australia [ ] Weird question from 2071 Hi all, Okay, I've seen a lot of posts on here about feet lately. I have a question.

Turns out it can be a psoriatic reaction to strep throat. In a totally different vein, I just read something this AM in my Autoimmune Disease Association newsletter about Pemphigus, which also looks like blisters, is more frequent in those with autoimmune disease, and can be a side effect of certain medications. It is described as " burn-like lesions or blisters that do not heal " . In this case they said a biopsy of one of the blisters is how they tell if it is caused by meds. Pemphigus is another autoimmune skin disorder...there wasn't enough info in the article to explain how it differs from guttate psoriasis but it sounds like it looks similar... I am sure a dermatologist can help you...Sorry you have to deal with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for the comments everyone. I don't think it could be poison ivy though - haven't been out barefoot and although this area is rural - I guess you could say I live in the somewhat civilized part of town. I guess it's time to add an dermatologist to the arsenal of doctors. Thanks for the input, Jenn in Arkansas > > > In a message dated 6/24/2006 5:39:02 A.M.
