A member asked:

Toes red itchy and swollen on left foot from playing tennis. what's best home remedy for this?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Ice and a topical: Antifungal but if no improvement see a foot doc. I would make sure your sneakers are the correct size as well.

Toes: The right treatment depends on what is causing the problem. If there were only one cause there would be only one 'best' treatment. See your podiatrist for assistance
