i've just had a good look at my toes and there are lots of little tiny bumps - not like mozzie bites much much smaller, and i've had this for three days now...if it was a insect it would have normally gone down by now...
You can use antihistamines in cream form with ADs. Might even be more effective applied locally on a skin rash than if you took the pills!
ran water over my feet, and it stang like hell! i stayed with it for a while and its eased the itch for a while....
ive had this a couple of times and it has always started as little lumps, its always agravated by warm weather.
any ideas? surely not insect bites best part of 5 days on?
Let us know what it turns out to be - have you been wearing any new shoes recently?
I honestly think that is what it is most likely to be even if its not presenting in the usual manner - unbearable itching and blisters is pretty classic for it. It is possible to get secondary infections when you have AF so be sure to go back to the docs if it gets any worse.
