Last summer the skin on my toes broke out. It happened this summer too. Today the pain became whorse when he bended my right big toe. I wetted a paper towel and put lotion on in and wrapped my toe in it, and it feels fine, no matter how much I bend it. When I walked from the bathroom to the kitchen to get a paper towl, I hopped on my left foot. Should I go to a skin doctor?

Ouch... I'd go see a doctor. It could be serious.

I might ask my mom if she thinks I'll need to. Bad eyes, bad skin, what will happen next? tib_wolf, you'd hate to be in my skin.

Sounds bad and painful. I think you should definately go see a doctor about that. Like Tibby said, it could be something serious. My theory is that you stepped in something that you're allergic to.

I had a problem like that when I was younger. I think back to it now and I should have gone to a doctor but I didn't then. I would recommend going, you never know what it could be. you said you put lotion on it and it felt better so I think it may just be dry skin, which I think was my problem. If you don't go to the doc then keep it hydrated and I think it should be good

you dhould go see the doctor it would be safe

Yeah it does happen during the summer and I'm ten now.
Kari, it's probably not an allergy, my skin cracks! Anyway, I rarely go outside without shoes except when it's rained, so that might rule out plant allergy.
Yeah, it's probably just dry skin, I'll keep up with the lotion.

yeah see I used to never have my shoes off.. It just felt nice and cozy but now around the house I will occasionaly wear my shoes.. Wearing shoes a lot brought about the dry skin problem I mentioned and I'm almost positive that's your problem. You've got to let your skin breathe, however stupid that sounds, but it's true.

There's this powder stuff you can put in your shoe. It stings but that's how you know it works

Yeah Tuesday Night the lotion stung, I do have some money, I'll buy some powder next time we got to Rite-Aid.
Thanks for all your help, people!

I'm right there with you darkhusky.. I agree 100% on that diagnoses *sounds like a doctor*

yep it did for me... I just put a little bit of that foot powder stuff for like... "Maybe" a week and never had a problem again... also letting your feet breathe like I said before helped a lot and probably helped in the prevention of it happening again.

It used to itch, so I was afraid to scratch it because it would hurt. It's not sweaty no matter what.
Just to say this, the skin cracks, if you haven't figured it out yet.

im ten anyway that happens to me exccept i dont break out
