    Could be a fungal infection. You should be able to buy a cream from your pharmacy or supermarket. Look for preparations for Athletes Foot. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly. Then apply the cream rubbing in well. Do this twice per day, and especially before you go to bed. If no improvement after 4 weeks then you may need to see your doctor.

    Do not scratch.

    If you wear socks or tights, ideally throw away the ones you have and buy new. Always wash at a high temperature and wear cotton socks.
