Cut Between Toes. Why Is It Peeling? Improvement How?

Hello, I have a cut between by two smallest toes that won t heal completely (It s been more than a year now). It doesn t bleed , but it hurts, and the skin around it is callous and is peeling. I was under the impression it was athlete s foot , and I used Lotrimin for more than a month, but there wasn t been much improvement.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query

You have a cut in your 4th web space.

Due to sweating in this area, skin become macerated early and hampers healing early.

So it needs dry dressing to heel.

If it persist, you have to visit a surgeon for exam. & treatment plan acc. to that.

Regards
