Read your question carefully. if it is a fungal infection as it seems by your description you will be feeling mild itchy also. you need to keep inter spaces between the toes clean and dry.apply clotrimazole ointment (trade name -candid/surfaz) twice a day in between of toes librally for 1 -2 weeks .if its too wet same drug powder dusting also will be helpful. for a much troublesome condition you can take candid tablet 150 mg (adult dose) once a week for approximate 4 weeks.
Levocetrizine (lezyncet) one tab.per day will reduce itching.
sunlight exposure of affected area and vitamins supplementation to boost immunity will be supportive. with this it should subcide with in a month period.
but finally can see an skin specialist.
hope you find your solution. best wishes.
