Causes Red Spots Between The Toes
Hello! I have a problem in the right segment of my right toe. After looking at it turns out there are dots that look red and bloody. But before there was no itching / anything. In fact I always keep clean, but I also often go back and forth toilets to just wash my hands u0026amp; feet. Is this due to water fleas, mold / what?

Hi Zahra,
The appearance of skin rashes and sore sores on the feet can be caused by the following conditions:
Skin irritation or injury due to physical trauma or heavy physical activity
Allergic reaction
Fungal infections (water fleas / tinea pedis)
Bacterial or viral infections
A direct examination is needed to ascertain the cause of your complaint so you should consult a doctor if the complaint persists or causes anxiety. The examinations that will be performed by doctors are history taking (medical interview), physical examination and supporting examinations such as skin scrapings and blood tests.
If the complaint is caused by a fungal infection, the doctor will advise you to keep your feet dry, prescribe antifungal drugs such as griseofulvin or ketoconazole and symptomatic drugs (according to symptoms). If the complaint is caused by a bacterial infection, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics that are compatible with the bacteria that causes it.
The following recommendations for you:
Do not scratch or rub the body area complained of
Avoid closed footwear or clothing that can cause friction
Try to keep your feet dry
Immediately consult a doctor if complaints persist or worsen
