Redness, swelling, and itching of the toes may be caused by chilblains, but allergic reactions cannot be ruled out. Additionally, fungal infections—such as tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)—can also produce these symptoms. If you experience redness, swelling, and itching of the toes, it is recommended that you visit a reputable local healthcare facility and undergo appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause.
