causes of a infected toe
When a rash or wound develops between toes, there are a few possible causes. In most cases, the cause is a fungal infectionâthe same organism that causes athlete's foot. Another cause is a bacterial infection, which is one reason that some foot infections don't seem to heal with anti-fungal creams. One type of bacterial infection that is frequently mistaken for a fungus is called erythrasma. Unlike athlete's foot, this is treated with an antibiotic.
