A member asked:
Athletes foot skin between pinky toe has growing dead skin, when removed leaves an indent like hole. now hurts, antibiotics? which one if so?

Not so Fast.: Your issue may or may not be associated with a fungal infection. The dead skin could also be associated with a callus formation caused by the phalangeal toes rubbing together. Either way, resolution may best be achieved by an evaluation by a foot expert.
