What Causes Swelling And Tenderness In Ring Finger Toes With Cocoa Butter Smell?
I am a prehypertensive 37 yr. old male smoker with no regular health issues. In the past two months my ring finger toes have experienced slight swelling and tenderness--no extra heat-- maybe twice a week for less than an hour at a time. I think it may be first signs of gout considering my diet is high in dairy fats and legumes. Curious symptom-- smells like cocoa butter between my toes. Any ideas?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection between the toes. I suggest using Clotrimazole cream for local application. I also suggest using Diflucan for three days, one tablet a day. I recommend to use cotton socks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
