What Causes Severe Itching And Pain In Big Toe?

Hi my left big toe is really itchy which seems worse in bed. I ve had it for about a week. It s right on the tip, a little below and a little on top. If I scratch it it only gets worse and a little painful. I haven t noticed my toe looking any different. Help will be much appreciated. Thank you Nick

Dear user,

I really understand your concern.

Based on your introduction, I think it is an yeast infection. Per this Travogen 1% cream will be helpful.

Also keep a good hygiene of feets, avoid moisture from them by cleaning with a dry towel, and don't wear old shoes or non air-conditioned shoes.




All the best!
