I have red, scaly, itchy spots on the top of my feet and around my ankles and i can't figure out what it is?

Fungus: The most likely answer is a tinea pedis, or fungus infection. But it can be as far ranging as psoriasis or many other skin conditions. Lichen planus comes to mind. If over the counter anti fungals do not work, you should see your podiatrist.
