Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A painful raw sore between the toes is likely to be due to a superficial skin infection. A swab culture of the wound will help in identification of the causative organism. Systemic antibiotics and local care takes care of most of such infections.
You can upload a good quality picture on the query page right hand side in the box for- "upload your reports".
This will help me in giving you a more informed opinion.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
