Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Between toes, there is a great environment for any infection development. It is warm and well moisturized area. This is excellent area for fungi grow. Such itchy lumps can be such infection symptom. Bacterial or viral infection should be also considered.
I suggest you to consult dermatologist with it. Swab test should be done to determine the reason of infection.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
