This looks more consistent with chronic eczema/dermatitis with dryness and scaling rather than a fungal infection. The thickened, dry, slightly dark skin over toes suggests xerosis with eczema changes, not a typical fungal pattern.
Next Steps:
• Use a gentle soap/cleanser and avoid harsh soaps
Helpful Tips / Words of Caution:
• Avoid coconut oil—it may worsen some skin conditions
• Do not use steroid creams for long duration without supervision
• Keep feet clean, dry, and moisturised regularly
• Avoid scratching to prevent thickening and pigmentation
• If scaling increases between toes or spreads → re-evaluate for fungal infection
