Athlete's foot: These are often caused by a fungal infection commonly referred to at athlete's foot. There are many different presentations and this is one of them. Use drying soaks (dilute vinegar or epsom salts). One of the otc topicals i recommend is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. If this doesn't work, see a podiatrist.

Different : Possibilities including bullous tinea pedis which is a blistery type of athletes foot, dyshidrotic eczema, friction etc. Without seeing them it is hard to make definitive diagnosis, oftentimes a skin scrapping may be performed to determine the etiology, or treatment can be tried and modified based on response.
