The skin on my left foot feels raw after standing for a long time. Why?
You possibly may be in the early signs of forming a blister. Blisters are caused by excessive friction. Ill-fitting shoes, or shoes with decreased support can cause this problem. It does not take long for a blister to form. The best treatment is to first wear shoes that give you more cushion. Secondly, you can get something called mole skin from the foot section in most drugs stores, and apply that over the lesion in question. Topical antibiotic ointment is good as well, twice a day for 7 days or so. The main thing to do is to remove whatever is causing the problem, which is the shoes. Thanks, John Codwell, DPM READ MORE
