How Should Toe Itching, Swelling, Peeling, Cracks And Pain Be Treated?
My pinky toe has been itching for awhile now, about 2 weeks with cracked peeling skin in between the pinky and toe next to it. A few days ago it started to feel painful to walk on and now i have 3 little blisters on the pinky toe thay have made the whole toe swollen and theyre clear fluid filled. It looks like the blisters start underneath the skin at first if that makes any sense.

Hi
There are two possibilities for the mentioned presentation .
Either you have developed a superficial bacterial infection of the feet or it might be a fungal infection.
So you might need to be managed with topical antibiotics or anti fungals.
You might need to see a dermatologist for confirmation of the diagnosis.
For the time being ,local cleaning with application of a topical antibiotic cream can be done .
