My 3 year old daughter has a rash on her toes. They re red but not raised and they seem to be under her skin . Her toes seem to itch intensely at night or while sleeping. Any idea what this is?

Hello;
Thanks for your query;
The commonest skin infection in children affecting the areas of toes and or fingers is scabies and the other cause can be ringworm.
Consult a doctor close by as a physical examination will help tell the difference between the two.
Once the doctor examines and makes his diagnosis he will prescribe the needed treatment.
Take care.
Regards
