Is the yellowish color on the actual skin of the toes, or is it on the toenail? If it's on the toenail, then you have nail fungus that can be treated with medications. If it is the skin, then it's very possible that you are forming calluses (areas of thickened skin due to friction/rubbing), which can be yellow colored. To treat that you can moisturize the area often and get a little exfoliating brick (can't remember the name of them- they're like white rocks that you rub on calluses to get rid of them) and use it in the bath tub.





As far as vitamins go- if you aren't getting enough vitamins in your diet, vitamins could help. You'd be better off making a more concerted effort to eat a variety of colorful fruits and veggies each day (easier said than done, I know). The single thing that you can do to help the overall health of your skin is to drink TONS of water. Most people think they're getting enough, when they really aren't. Soda and coffee don't count as water, they actually dehydrate you more. You can tell if you're drinking enough water when you look at the color of your urine. A well-hydrated person's urine is actually a very very pale yellow, almost clear. The yellower your pee is, the more dehydrated you are. An easy way to get your water in is to buy a big waterbottle and carry it around with you all day, and make sure that you drink 2 of them each day. At least 64 ounces of water daily. That will go a LONG way in improving your skin. That, and stop smoking if you're a smoker. Smoking can cause yellowed skin.
