The feet are feeling a lot better today, as the infection has subsided and the original problem is dormant, at least.
Today's appointment was with a Chiropodist, Lori Barnes, D. Ch. who is the first person to give my condition a name. She thinks it is "sever plantar lichen planus" a systemic fungal infection. Of course, opportunistic bacteria got in and made the mess worse.
She says I need to use the Loprox already prescribed. Twice daily, for several weeks now and whenever it looks as if things are flaring up.
Mary Ann, the nurse from CareFor who referred me to Lori, was there, too. She has some really awful pictures of my feet, but I think she's going to delete them now.
On Friday I'm going to see Dr. Pratt, a dermatologist (referred by Family Health Centre, our doctor).
