A member asked:

Between my toes, i get cuts similar to blade cuts. applying miconazole helps but if i discontinue, it happens again. it's not due to water. wht is it?

Be persistent: Miconazole is an antifungal. It may be you have a chronic fungal infection inbetween the toes. I would remember to thoroughly dry out inbetween the toes after showering and use an over the counter drying powder or something similar daily to prevent recurrence. If it's persistent go see your doctor.

Cuts between toes: Fungal infection. You need to keep foot dry was daily try a soak with 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water q day x a week, the nonce a week and see if the fungus returns. ,try putting some tinactin (tolnaftate) or antifungal OTC powder in your shoes once a week. Do not walk barefoot around pools in pubic or gym showers. Check for diabetes, thyroid disease Follow up with podiatrist,
