Girl, 10, developed 'blister' after beach day - but it was actually rare 'painful' disease

A family's dream holiday in Fiji turned into a nightmare when their 10-year-old girl developed a rare infection between the toes of her right foot after getting a blister from her flip-flops.

Australian Bella, 10, got a normal blister after a day at the beach and the minor injury seemed harmless, but now she is mainly bedridden and sometimes using a wheelchair to get around.
