Resumen: To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article “Effect of finger socks on clinical cure in interdigital tinea pedis” by Aksoy et al1 discussing the potential benefits of this type of sock in the management of this condition. Finger socks, also termed toe socks or glove socks, are designed to reduce friction and allow more natural toe movement. Although we recognize the justification for their use in improving interdigital aeration and moisture control, we would like to raise a concern regarding a potential adverse effect observed in some patients.
