Athletes' foot: Although less common in young kids, this may be her problem. Try her on open toe shoes as much as possible and perhaps even some antifungal cream topically. A recent study found that socks not laundered with very hot water helps to spread the fungus that causes athlete's food.

Yes: She probably has a fungus and it should be treated.
