Marks on feet
Hi
I recently have noticed brownish/red marks on my feet. They are not itchy but are sensitive. This may seem strange but the marks are slightly sticky (socks, walking on tiles, etc).
Is this a fungus?
Mr A

Mr A
It can be but I must confess that with so little information given to me it is difficult for me to say for certain.
The fact that they are sticky would imply that they are wet and weeping and this can be a fungal infection, a bacterial infection or an eczema.
You really need to show this to someone and that would be a dermatologist.
