We had the huge marathon last weekend. I did many post-marathon pedicures and many had what appeared to be heat rashes on the tops of the feet. Logical because I had 6 of them and I have seen it before after 26 miles of running but then again.....I can not be certain.
Really, there could be many reason for what your client has. The best thang to do is cover yourself by documenting what you know including dates and times. Then refer to a dermatologist or primary care dr. Log this in your notes. We are not trained to know the reall diff between rashes , pustules, clusters blisters ect. So...I say stop tryin to guess and just refer out. You never know it could be a very small side effect of somethang really serious having nothing to do with callus care :) In my experience with blue cross (which I stopped using on the foot years ago) and callus eliminator is when you get it on healthy skin for to long it severly dries the skin out. Feeling icky. Peace On 1/27/09, Michelle Cordes <[email protected]> wrote: > > I use the callus softener, then foot file, then scrub.
