A member asked:
What causes the skin behind the little toe to split? my 3 year old grandson is having this problem.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep dry and clean: Peeling and cracking of the skin between the toes can be due to several reasons; 1) sweaty feet with socks that let moisture linger 2) athletes' foot 3) eczema For the first, keep feet dry, use cotton socks and let shoes dry out. For the second using a fungal cream such as Tinactin (tolnaftate) can help. For the eczema, work with doctor to use hydrocortisone cream to heal and lotion that keeps moisture away.
