Several things: You could have an ingrown toenail, a fungal infection, a corn. See a podiatrist.

It could be fungus: Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) is commonly encountered between the toes. The white discoloration might be moist skin, which is conducive to infection. Try a topical antifungal and use it as directed. If it is not better consult with a podiatrist or dermatologist.

Pinky toe: The white could be the maceration associated with tinea, but it could also be a bone spur. Tinea rarely hurts so you could have both problems. See your podiatrist for help.
