Alternative cure for skin problems

I have a bruise like, reddish look on the side on my feet. I am overweight. Can that be causing my skin to look bruised? If so, can it be reversed?

Alternative cure for skin problems

The problem might simply be with the footwear that you are using. If your shoes or sandals are too tight or even if they simply rub against one part of your foot continuously, the affected area will get inflamed and sore. The reddish bruise that you see on the side of your foot may simply be due to this.


Change your footwear for a few days, and if possible, even stay home for a couple of days. Stay off your feet and out of any shoes, so that the bruises have time to heal without any further abrasion. If this works, you should consider changing your shoes or at least getting them worked on so that they fit better.



Another possibility is some sort of allergy — this may be an allergic reaction to some material in your footwear or another allergy that has somehow first manifested itself on your feet. Again, if the problem is your shoes, then changing them for a few days should show some results. And again, if this works, you should probably change your shoes for good.

Any other allergy or condition will need further investigation, so if changing your shoes does not work, you should visit your doctor.
