Toe pad cracking, thinning and pain at 18 years may be due to fungal infection, excessive dryness, friction, or improper use of steroid-antibiotic creams like Beclo with Neomycin. Avoid continuing such creams without advice, as they can worsen thinning. Keep feet clean and dry, apply a thick moisturizer or coconut oil at night, and wear comfortable footwear. If pain or cracks persist, proper examination is important. You may visit our clinic for accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment.

As one Professional has suggested: coconut 🥥 oil or any moisturizer 🧴 will help calm your skin.. 🧦 to avoid direct contact with footwear; cloth footwear is a good interim option.
