foot
My baby toe has a blister under the bottom but my whole foot is red and swollen and it is very painful for me to walk on. What is this?
I would go either to urgent care, or right to a podiatrist if you can get in right away. I have a similar problem right now, but the blister part is closer to the side of my heal. I finally went to urgent care and was told it is cellulitis which can be very serious if not treated. Watch the area to make sure there are no red lines going up your foot or leg which could mean infection. The doctor will also rule out blood clots. Go in right away!
