Fungal infection.

Go see a Dermatologist and please go easy on shoes that covers that place up. Fungi thrives in those close places.

Go hospital

Though it looks like a sign for chronic respiratory issues

Finally, go hospital!

It looks like the toddler’s toes have areas of dark discoloration and peeling skin, especially around the toenails. here are some possible causes you should consider — and reasons to see a doctor soon:

⚠️ Possible Causes

Circulatory issue / ischemia – If the toes recently turned dark or blackish, this could indicate reduced blood flow (for example, from tight shoes, band, or clot). This is urgent if the area is cold, swollen, or painful.

Infection (bacterial or fungal) – If there’s peeling, swelling, or discharge, it might be a localized infection like cellulitis or a nail infection.

Post-inflammatory pigmentation – After an injury, friction, or mild infection, darker skin patches can develop, especially in children with darker skin tones.

Bruising / trauma – A crush or stub injury can cause subungual hematoma (blood under the nail) that looks dark.

Dryness or eczema – Chronic irritation, dryness, or eczema can cause scaling and color changes.

Vasculitis or other systemic condition – If multiple toes are affected or if the discoloration is spreading, sometimes inflammation of small blood vessels can cause dark patches.

🚨 Seek medical attention immediately if:

The toes are cold, painful, or swollen.

The dark areas are spreading or turning blacker.

There’s fever, pus, or foul odor.

The child seems in pain or not walking normally.

👩🏾‍⚕️ What you can do now:

Keep the area clean and dry.

Avoid tight socks or shoes.

Don’t apply any creams unless prescribed.

See a pediatrician or dermatologist soon for direct evaluation — they may check for circulation problems, infection, or trauma.

Let her be wearing open shoes. But it's best you seek medical experts immediately.

Don’t use anti biotic to treat fungi if not it will come back stronger go and buy a pure anti fungi drug and drink also buy a pure anti fungi cream and apply on the skin
DO NOT USE ANTI BIOTICA
What are you talking about? Did i mention anti-biotics? Get out of here.

This scar alone speaks volume! Being a very active child, definitely must have played barefoot in dirty puddles or worn dirty socks and shoe that could have caused such fungal infection. Meet a dermatologist for medical advice.
