Athletes foot: Proving that you have athlete's foot is the first issue. See a board certified dermatologist to ensure that it is not a bacterial infection (athelete's foot is a fungus). Dyshidrotic eczema is often misdiagnosed as athlete's foot and there are other conditions that can cause peeling, dryness etc. There are medicated creams and lotions and prescription pills but keeping the feet dry is important.

Yes: Athletes foot is very curable but there is a strong chance of it returning because there is no immunity for it. To prevent recurrence you need to keep the bottom of your feet clean and dry and make sure you do not walk barefoot on questionable surfaces. Fungus is ubiquitous and infection is possible, taking proactive steps is important. Examine your feet daily.
