Peeling skin: Skin peels so that dead cells can be eliminated and new cells can emerge. Several different conditions can cause the skin on the area of the toes to peel. They include athlete's foot and dry skin. Skin on the toes that continues to peel may require a visit to the doctor.

This : This could still be tinea pedis. Antifungal creams should help.

Question 4

soles of feet are red, tender look swollen. hard and peeling skin on the back of toes, hard skin and sore. used athletes foot 5 days didn't help?

Accepted Answer

Tinea Pedis: It sounds like a tinea pedis or athletes foot. Fungus can be very resistant to medication. Put lotrimin (clotrimazole) AF cream as well as hydrocortisone cream 15 three times a day for a week. Also, dry feet and toes carefully, then apply gold bond powder into your socks immediately after bathing or swimming. Good luck.

Question 5

dermatology question about the peeling skin on my foot?

Accepted Answer

What are: the 2 diagnosis. Can you show the rash . Will be concerned with scabies or contact dermatitis or impetigo but without picture or diagnosis of the previous Dermatologist or the treatments that did not work it is just a guess.

Question 7

my husband has very swollen feet with burning, peeling skin he has a history of eczema and they hurt to move. it doesn't itch. is this a foot fungus?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: If his feet are very swollen this can cause cracks in the skin and cause the skin to blister or peel. This could be due to eczema or just from the swelling. They can be painful due to the skin being broken to move them. Best to have them checked out, he may need a steroid cream, compression, or it could be a fungal infection, but the only way to know would be to have them looked at.

Question 8

do i have a foot fungus ? how can i get rid of dead peeling skin on my feet ? i have very dry feet, the skin on the bottom of my feet have been peeling for as long as i can remember, i tried using a pumice stone, soaking them, getting a pedicure, but noth

Accepted Answer

There : There is a possiblity. You also might have psoriasis. My recommendation would be to either visit a podiatrist or a dermatologist and have them take a skin biopsy of your feet and send it to pathology to discover exactly what type of skin condition you have. Based on that, a proper treatment plan and medication can be administered to treat it.

Question 9

what can cause skin peeling at the bottom of my big toe?

Accepted Answer

Fungus : Or dry skin would be my thoughts. Try and an antifungal cream available at the drugstore.

Question 10

my daughter, 7 months old, has skin peeling in between her toes on one foot. could this be a fungus? if so what ointment can i get? or could it be nothing? is there a way i could tell?

Accepted Answer

Many conditions: The peeling may be related to dry skin or a sign of a systemic problem. Monitor her temperature, watch for red eyes, rash, swelling and report these findings right away to your pediatrician. Fungal skin infections usually present at this age with a rash.
Apply local baby eczema cream several times daily, avoid immersion in water and fragranced products. If the peeling spreads, please see the ED.
