Erosio interdigitalis blastomycetica (EIB) is a skin condition caused by a Candida albicans infection, characterised by an oval-shaped area of macerated white skin on the web between and extending on to the sides of the fingers.^[1]: 310

It is common among bartenders and homemakers. EIB can be found on both the hands and feet.^[2] It is most common between the middle and ring finger and sometimes found between toes.^[3]

It is believed that EIB is caused by working with water often.^[2] It is not known exactly how long the infection will last since it varies often between people who have gotten infected.^[4] The most common symptoms are pruritus and discomfort while on rare occasions some do experience pain.^[5]

Keep the site dry using soft cotton. Avoid immersion in liquids or other trigger factors. Topical econazole is useful.^[6]

EIB was first discovered by two scientists,"Henry Gougerot" and "Goncea" in 1915. It was later named by another scientist "Johannes Fabry" in 1917.^[5]
