Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is looking like fungal infection.
Keep applying antifungal cream for a month.
Try to keep your feet dry as much as possible.
If you come in contact with water, immediately wipe your feet with towel and apply cream.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
