Hi. I am a 22 year old female. Around the beginning of January I noticed between my fourth and fifth toe dry skin. I applied lotion and went about my day. A day or so later I noticed this big piece of dry skin on the pad of my foot under these two toes just hanging. I pulled it off and put triple antibiotic cream on. Then it proceeds to peel. Between the third and fourth toe it starts peeling. Under that forms a few brown blisters. Now. Where the large chunk of dry skin came off it looks/feels like blisters also brown. It used to itch and hurt extremely bad but Ive been not wearing socks. I applied tea tree oil. Keeping my feet extra clean and dry. I also have used lamisil on it. What is this? Why is my foot brown? I wish I could show a picture. It seems to be healing. It doesnt itch as much, but there is still some discomfort while standing or walking.

### output:

Hello, I can understand your concern for the Chat Doctor.  After reviewing your query it appears to be related to the intertwine or fungal infection of the 4th and 5th toe space. It is quite common to find such kind of feature in this area due to moistness and closed area by shoes. There is more of tendency to get frequent fungal infections at this area. In my patients I generally prefer to use an antifungal creams such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole at the affected area. Maintaining a good hygiene and reduction of moistness by antifungal dusting powders helps a lot in early resolution of the area. DO not go for any parlor procedures such as pedicure or related things as can cause further proliferation. All the best.
