Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
The Space between my fourth toe and little toe is green in color, macerated and Has a little odor to the area that resembles an algae scent. No itching or pain. I ve always had very sweaty feet that are dry and cracked in areas, but I ve never noticed a green color between my toes. What could be the cause of this change and how can it be treated?
