Black cracked itchy skin at toes&fingers

Question

Asked for Female, 46 Years

This is me on behalf of my mother who's in her late 40s and is a housewife doing regular household chores in an everyday basis. since last year perhaps, she's having itchy skin at the toe & finger tips which when she itches, cracks up and gradually the whole spot turns black like all the cells are dead in that area. nowadays its spreading into her hands and feet and it pains a lot in those sensitive portions that has inner epidermis revealing. is it atlete's foot or eczema or something else?
