skin fissures in between fingers is called as intertrigo. It is a mixed bacterial and fungal infection. You can use oint clotrimazole in night and oint mupirocine in day. Try to avoid contact with water. If possible upload a photograph of the lesion. This will help me in coming to a closer diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
