What Causes Frequent Skin Peeling And Discolouration Of Little Toe?

For the last 6 years my baby toe and the toe beside it always get a brown redish color and a smell like u just got sick. I can peel the skin off and a couple of days later it is back. I use tea tree oil and can keep it at bay. But if I quit using it for a week or 2 the skin comes back that brown red color. I have seen a dermatologist and he doesn t think it a fun gel infection. Do you have any sagestion

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
You need antifungal+steroidal preparation named Hydrozole twice daily. Its usage will tell you in 2 weeks that its getting healed up. It looks like a fungal infection due to moisture. Keep the area dry. Change socks everytime you wear shoes.
