Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to athletes foot.
It is a fungal infection.
I suggest using an antifungal lotion for local application such as Miconazole cream.
I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Diflucan for three days.
I recommend maintaining good hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
