How can an infected callous on the foot be treated?
Patient: I am at work: I wont get home until tomorrow. I was in Mexico I walked on the beach barefoot and then stopped because of a blister on the back of my right foot. I started feeling sick yesterday but not too bad now I have chills, a sore throat and a temp, I noticed there is a red stripe across my left foot... I have a callous on that foot... it must have gotten infected... I have been soaking the other foot in Epsom salts Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.This could be very serious.
