Is Peeling Skin On Toes Suggestive Of Athletes Foot?

Hi, I was wondering what could cause the skin on the feet-specifically around the toes to peel much like sunburned skin would peel. Is that athletes foot? It started w/ my 7 yr.old grandson, and now I ve noticed my 2 &1/2 yr.old granddaughter s toes have skin just hanging off the sides & bottoms of her toes...please help!!

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to athletes foot which is a fungal infection.

I suggest using an antifungal moisturizer for local application.

I also suggest using Diflucan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
