Approximately 8 months ago, my husband used a sulfuric acid based drain opened on our bathroom sink, which ate through the plumbing and spilled onto the floor. He had flour and baking soda to soak up the spill, but I walked into bathroom and accidentally got some of the liquid on the bottom of my right foot. No pain but burning sensation and felt hot...skin invariably peeled off from heel to base of toes. Still has not totally healed. Now, when my foot is damp from sweat after working all day, or after I get out from soaking in the tub, the skin on the bottom of my right foot peels away...just by walking on the rug or carpet, and the skil just rolls off. Leaves a red, raw area which BURNS and then later itches like crazy. I've used topical steroid creams and ointments, and have yet to find something that will totally heal the area. Have been on antibiotics twice, but no effect. Have tried antifungal, still no help. Anyone have any ideas? My MD is even stumped.
