How To Treat Sore, Itchy Bumps Between Toes In A Child?
Hello!
My ten-year-old daughter has two small white pimple-sized/looking bumps between her toes. They are on the head of the toes not at the base. She says they are very sore and itchy. Her feet are always sweaty, even in sandals. She always wears cotton socks with tennis shoes/boots. They also have the strongest odor of any feet I'VE ever smelled. I don't know what these are or how to treat them, but they are very uncomfortable for her. What should I do?

It is because of the fungal infection because of constantly wet toes caused due to sweat..ask her to avoid shoes for sometimes except in unavoidable circumstances.. Use sandals instead...properly wash socks daily. Dry it in sunlight well...use talcum powder in between toes...never put socks on wet/sweaty leg..
