Split Toes: You could be dealing with dry skin and not a fungal infection. Try a moisturizing cream instead. Also, split open skin can develop bacterial infections. A topical antibiotic ointment can also be added. However, with a 2 year old, always check with your pediatrician and have her evaluated. Better safe than sorry. Hope this helps.
