IAM ONLY 21 YEARS OLD AND IAM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY LEFT FOOT. ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITALS DUE TO AN A FUNGUS INFECTION ON MY LEFT. APPARENTLY THE FUNGUS ON MY FOOT MANAGED TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO MY BODY THROUGH A CUT THAT I HAD ON MY FOOT. MY FOOT AT THE TIME WAS TURNING BLACK AND BLISTERS AND SWELLING WERE ALSO PART OF THE SYMTHOMS OF THIS INFECTION. MY FOOT HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE THIS INCDENT. MY FOOT SWELLS UP TO AN EXTREM ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SEEN MANY DOCTORS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME OR TELL WHAT I HAVE.

Your description sounds like you had a simple fungal infection which went untreated for a while which then lead to a bacterial infection and a cellulitis. Cellulitis is an infection which presents as a red, hot, swollen painful area. You now sound as if you have a chronic cellulits. Have you been seen by a vascular doctor for the continuing swelling that you have to your lower extremity? If no, then you should be seen by one. Good luck.
