It happened about a month ago a small red mark on my big toe near the toe nail... now its spead almost all over my toe... (not my foot just the big toe) it looks like little small water like bumps... i popped one and it was clear liquid.. sorry im not trying to be gross.. and on some parts of the toe the skin turned really dry skin and cracked.. i never had this before... what could it be?

Also sometimes I get tiny small water bumps on the tips of my fingers.. but it never spread.. it just went away after a few days. My mom gets them too on her fingertips. She has her own cleaning service, and she is diabetic.. don't know if this helps any?

Have you been checked for diabetes? If you haven't you probably should do so as the condition you describe is possibly bullosis diabeticorum, or diabetic blisters. These mostly appear on the fingers and toes and are usually painless. The only way to really treat that condition is to get your glucose levels under control. Otherwise what you have is most likely a fungal infection... Either way a trip to your doctor would be a good idea. I wish you the best.

probably athletes' foot fungus. Soak your feet in vinegar for 15 min., 2 times daily & follow with an anti-fungal cream. Be sure to spray your shoes & slippers with pinesol, Lysol or other fungus killing spray & dry them thoroughly. Don't go barefoot as it is catching.
