How To Treat The Burning Sensation Between The Toes?

I get a burning in my toes on my left foot after standing for a period of time.....what can I do to stop this pain? It is mainly the second and third toes. It seems like it is the shoes, but does not stop even after I take the shoes off that seem to cause it......and yes the shoes do fit just fine.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for burning sensation between the toes. There can be multiple possibilities of the red and itchy rashes and it requires a close physical examination to diagnose the exact entity of the problem.

In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be fungal infection of the area.

I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should wash the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole or miconazole. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for once a day if itching is present.

Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.

All the best.
