What Causes Peeling Of Skin Between The Toes?
Hi when I take my socks off my toes are usually wet between them and if I wash between them . the skin peels and has a horrible odor and it causes me pain and aches for a week in between them. What is that and how can I treat it. Also there is a dry patch under my foot and it s darker than the rest of my feet.

Hi,
Most likely fungal infection of the area between toes.
Needs precise local care with cleaning via an antiseptic liquid, antifungal creams, systemic antibiotics, antifungal medicines to recover faster.
Control of blood sugar is very vital for the early cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
