A member asked:
What causes the skin between toes to itch and peel? the rash is on the tops of my feet as well. it spreads to my arms and chest but much less severe
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungal infection: is usually the most common cause of itching/peeling skin between the toes. If it is a fungal infection, it can be spread to other parts of the body like your arms, chest; for example, if you dry your feet with a towel then use on the rest of your body, it is possible to transfer the fungus to the rest of your body. You can try an OTC fungal cream for now and see your doctor if doesn't work.
