What Causes White Skin, Dry Skin And Itching On Toes?

Hi, the toe next to my little toe has very white skin in between the toe and around it. It looks like dry skin, but it is smooth. My little toe next to it is fine, but occasionally itches. Could it be Athletes Foot? I have never had it before, and I haven t been in any communal swimming baths or showers. I live alone so nobody has used my shower. I find it strange that is could be this?

Hi,
This seems having fungal infection in between toes.
This is common sites for fungal infection due to inter-digital spaces remained unclean and having moisture keeping part wet leading to grow fungus.
apply anti-fungal cream.
Keep this space clean and dry particularly after taking shower.
If wearing socks, clean it and made dry after removing socks.
Ok and take care.
