Clearly describe what you mean by "water balls." You may be describing a dermatologic condition which is generally and descriptively known as "vesicular eruption," which is characterized by tiny often itchy or sometimes painful vesicles containing a clear fluid. After they open and drain they crusts over and eventually resolve by themself, frequently to begin all over again. If that is the case, the condition is annoying, but self-limiting and not dangerous. I know of no specific association with athletes foot Sometimes I prescribe a corticosteroid cream, but I'm not at all certain that it materially affects the cycle. But, as with all dermatologic conditions, this needs to be seen by a trained eye to determine an actual diagnosis and to offer treatment recommendations which are appropriate.

 

What you described is exactly what I have, doctor.

Which brand of cream should I get? Thanks a lot.

First of all, as I stated, I'm not at all sure that my use of corticosteroid cream for the condition which I described does anything more than the normal cycle of self-limiting events which I described accomplishes, though it may positively effect some of the itching when present. My policy is to only review the assertions as presented, but not definitively diagnose or advise treatment based on the drawn suppositions. All that I can offer in a forum such as this are impressions which are not based on the only valid method of diagnosis . . a hands-on examination. My comments to you and others are merely to offer some thoughts on presented situations, which should be confirmed by one's own doctor before treatment is attempted. Therefore, I will not make any specific recommendations for treatment for your individual case, and will encourage you not to act on any of my suppositions, but instead to use my response for your own personal knowledge and edification when consulting your own doctor. I would suggest you see a dermatologist if your podiatrist is unable to deal with your situation.
