Crack under toe has green in it -ever happen to you?

[cragginshred]

I went to put my climbing shoe on this am and happen to spread my pinkie toe to find this. I get cracks there in the summer and now that its almost winter I wear socks all the time and don'y look between my toes so much. My co worker is a wound specialist and she said the white tissue is moisture and she is unsure about the green -not fungal. There is a crack/cut and I am thinking it never really healed and stayed moist.

 

Just wondering if it's nasty water related and if any of you all have had or seen something like this?

You are an alien with copper-based blood?

You might get some entertaining opinions by posting this here, but go to an urgent care over the weekend and see an actual medical professional.

Lake dye?

[dchristman]

A search for "green between toes" yields this info... and a lot of other gross stuff! Sounds serious - antibiotic resistant.

Not Good

If your climbing shoes are not Kermit green I'd be running to the nearest doctor.

Volcan?

Get your water tested. Your fingers have a green taint as well. Icky.

Of all the thread topics I thought possible on this website, I did not foresee this one.

Wow, never seen that before..

[gregy]

Soak you toes in bleach see if it goes away.

[igkya]

Dude, seeing as how your fingernails are green too.. go straight to the Urgent Care and/or drink a lot of alcohol.

Back in school, I was doing swimming for a Winter sport. Indoor pool with lots of chlorine in it. By the end of the Winter Term, I had green dandruff.

I am also a wound care specialist.

Could be pseudomonas. A bug commonly found in infected wounds that causes green puss basically. Wash it with vinegar for a few days and see if it helps.

Or try peroxide. Maybe even Absorbine Jr. Or some other athletes foot treatment.

[cragginshred]

I went straight to prompt care and it was pseudomonas -bad case of athletes foot.

5 day anti biotic/heavy duty prescribed cream.

Combo of climbing shoes/no socks and not drying between my toes after hot tub then shower. I have felt cracks under my toes during the summer but don't always inspect like I should.

 

I was checking here just to see if any Ballers had developed anything like this from too much water time.

Skip the peroxide, that should only be used for getting blood stains out of your shirt or to make your dog vomit - otherwise dump it down the sink.

 

Vinegar, or listerine and vicks vapor rub would be the home remedy of choice. Get a shallow basin and pour some vinegar and listerine in it then wiggle your toes and dump it out when done. Then get some gauze and weave it loosely between the toes up/down/up/down after your shower to help it ventilate and dry out in there.

 

The vicks will help the cracking - if you get splits in the skin rub that into your heels and between toes then put socks on before you go to bed. Both vicks and listerine have menthol and thymol.

Or stop wearing green socks

or let the grapes ripen before stomping out your homemade wine.
