Brief Answer:
Looks like a fungal infection of the toes
Detailed Answer:
Hello, thank you for consulting here. Looks like a fungal infection of the toes.
I would suggest a combination of Clotrimazole + Betamethasone (Candid-B) ointment applied twice a day for 10 - 14 days.
But this is a prescription drug please.
If it is not better by this in 7 days then you need further investigations as to find out the specific fungus involved.
But 99% this should suffice.
Best regards - Dr Sumanth Amperayani
