The one under my daughter's big toe is constantly cracking. We couldn't figure out what to put on her to help

Hello!

I will need more information to answer your questions.

First of all, how old is your daughter?

What product have you tried?

Do I understand correctly that the skin is cracked or split, example due to dryness?

Does your daughter tend to produce a lot of sweat on her feet?

I will be happy to help you with an answer to these questions!

Thank you for the information!

For the moisturizer, canesten and polysporin treatments, for how long did you use them and how many times a day?

A 1-week course of Canesten is not long enough to treat a fungal infection, so we can't rule out fungal infection. However, fungal infections are quite rare in young children...

Since it's hard to tell without seeing your daughter's foot, I would advise you to go to the pharmacy and show it to the pharmacist so they can identify if it's dryness, an infection or something else.

If the verdict is that it is dryness, I would advise you to try Uriage Bariéderm fissure crack ointment.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time.
