Hi, My toes on both of my feet are darker than the rest, around the little joint (on the pinky toe) and it hurts sometimes when i wear my sneakers. I dont really engage in much exercise and i dont think i hurt my toe with any gym activities. I am an African American teenager and dont want to have nasty looking feet. What can i do to make my pinky toes look like the rest of my toes?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I feel that the pigmentation that you have is because of constant friction. Use a shoe which is one size larger. Because of shoe bite it will pain and leave behind a pigmentation. Apply a moisturizer containing 10 % urea. Even salicylic acid 5-10% containing creams also will help. Trichloroacetic acid chemical peels one by cosmetologist will help decrease the pigmentation. Hope this helpedTake care
