Yes: This certainly sounds like athletes foot. Burning, itching and scaly skin along with redness are hallmarks of tinea pedis. Over the counter antifungal creams and sprays can help kill the yeast that cause these infections. To prevent future infections, try wearing open shoes (sandals or flip-flops) or go barefoot at home. Make sure to sanitize bathtub/shower floor to prevent recurrence.
