Suggest treatment for small water blisters between toes of a child
Patient: My 8 year old son has been having small water blisters between his toes. It is not healing and has been giving him lots of pain and itches a lot. How should I treat this? Should I pop the blisters? Is this something I should take him to the dermatologist for? Doctor: Hello. I just read through your question.This is not uncommon.  For now you can apply any antibiotic ointment (ie: bacitracin, neosporin, etc.) three times per day. This will be absorbed into the blisters and kill whatever bacteria is in there. if the blisters pop, continue to apply the same ointment to prevent bacteria form infecting it again.
