ABSTRACT
Dermatological lesions caused by deformation of the lesser toes are some of the reasons why patients seek specialist help. The most common lesions include calluses under the toe tips, thickened and cracking nails, as well as lesions in the interdigital spaces. In addition to the local treatment of dermatological lesions, it is also worth treating the cause of the lesions with the help of a physiotherapist, who using appropriate methods (kinesiology taping, individual orthoses) and techniques (manual therapy) will relieve the foot. In the case of lesions resistant to conservative treatment, orthopaedic consultation is necessary in order to consider surgical correction of the defect and, as a result, eliminate the cause of the problem.
