How To Treat Peeled Skin On Toes?

Hey so there s a sliver of skin on the bottom of my right foot, on the pad below the 3rd and 4th toes. It looks like I was cut at an angle but it doesn t hurt at all. Its been there for weeks, doesn t seem to be closing, doesnt peel off, and I don t remember when I got it or how. What should I do to get rid of it? ..because it s distracting.

Hello,
if it was because of any injury you should better be careful for contacting infection as if is open wound. Object of injury if metal, should you be taking Inj. Tetanus at the earliest. lately now you're having peeling of skin, and it doesn't seem to heal, it is good to undergo local dressing with antiseptic ointment and bandaging so as to prevent infection. when wound has healed, local area would revert to normalcy with respect to time and condition.
Regards.
