Hi,
Fungal infection is common in-between toes where there is always wetness.
Wet area is ideal for growing fungus.
so keep inter-digital area clean and dry particularly after taking shower and while removing shoes and socks after coming from out side.
It is advisable not to wear shoes and use chapples for some time.
There is no spray available for fungal infection.
Use anti-fungal cream or lotion like Candid.
Along with local application you might require one course of oral anti-fungal medicine like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Ok and take care.
