Fungus or not....: Without actually seeing the toes, it's hard to determine the cause of the flaking. If there's no itching, redness or cracking, then the toes probably do not have an infection. It could be just skin dryness due to friction from shoes. Try a moisturizer to see if the condition goes away. To remove all doubt, have your feet examined and evaluated by a foot specialist or dermatologist.
