Hello!
BeeBee Loo is having major issues with her feet, specifically her toes! It started out as what looked like really deep blood blisters on the underside of her 3 toes right next to the big one on just one foot. The blood blisters would work their way up to the surface of the skin and then scab. I took her to the dr and they thought it was some kind of athlete's foot and told me to put a lotrimine equivalent on it. They also gave her antibotics since she is prone to staph. After the first week of treatment, she developed an allergic reaction to the ointment and had huge blisters raised across the top of her toes. I started using Vick's vapor rub on them instead and it seemed to keep everything in check but didn't help to get rid of it. Vicks or mentholatum has always been our pediatrician's recommendation for the contact dermatitis she gets as well. Started using tinactin spray after that for little over a week. While it hasn't gotten any worse, it hasn't gotten significantly better either. I took her to her peds yesterday and he was thinking it may not be athlete's foot entirely but an allergic reaction to something at gymnastics. Perhaps what they clean the equipment with? Has anyone had this problem before? The ped said the only way to prevent it is to enclose her feet while she's at gymnastics. Has anyone used gymnastics shoes because of something like this? Any brands/material/style you recommend? Thanks!
