I've got an infection between the third and fourth toes on my left foot. It's been really dry and painful sometimes. I've been dealing with it for a couple of years now. I've tried oral meds from general physicians and even ointments like terbinafine, candiderma, and paxoderm. It's really annoying. Any suggestions on what I could do to finally get rid of it?

View allI'm using aziderm cream instead of the aziderm gel that my doctor suggested. Is there any chance it might cause a reaction or any issues with my skin? I'm a bit worried about if it might feel different or cause any irritation.
Aziderm contains azelaic acid, which is commonly used to treat certain skin conditions like acne. The primary difference between a gel and a cream formulation lies in their base composition. Gels are usually water-based, tend to be lighter, and can be more suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Creams, on the other hand, are often oil-based, thicker, and might be more appropriate for dry or sensitive skin. Using Aziderm cream instead of gel should generally be safe, but keep the following points in mind: Skin Type Compatibility: If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, a gel might penetrate better without leaving a greasy feeling. If your skin is more on the dry or sensitive side, a cream might be more soothing. Irritation Potential: Both formulations can potentially cause some irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive to azelaic acid. Watch for redness, stinging, or peeling. If you experience significant discomfort, consider discontinuing use or reducing the frequency of application. Application Tips: Apply a thin layer to the affected area. Start using it once daily to see how your skin reacts, then gradually increase to twice daily if needed. Moisturizer: If you notice dryness, applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer after the cream may help. Sun Protection: Ensure you use adequate sun protection, as azelaic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
