Fungus: Probably a fungus infection of the area commonly called tinea. Treatment: refrain from picking at the area. Dry area after shower/bathe. Over the counter Lamisil (terbinafine) at apply twice daily to the area.

It could be...: Acute athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well. Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.

Tinea : Sound like a fungus or shoe irritation. See a podiatrist who cane treat topically.
