Gout and blisters

[clk1999]

Hi all ,

I have been a gout sufferer for about 6 years (male , 49 yrs old). I usually get it about 1 - 2 times a year but each bout lasts about 5 - 6 painful weeks.

All the time when I get the 'gout attack' , there will be watery blisters formed (soles , toes , side of foot) apart from the swelling of the big toe (right foot). Anybody facing something like this?

thanks

Here is a reported case of a blister as the initial presentation of gout.

here's how to prevent attacks, and to treat them with brine baths if they happen.
