Painful skin on feet with cracking

Hey guys! Signed up for some advice as working 24/7 at the moment so don’t know when I’ll get to my GP

Noticed some discomfort in my feet recently over the Christmas period, put it down to work (retail at Christmas is a bitch) but when I had a look when I got out the shower tonight I saw what is pictured below, cracked and peeling. It’s only one out of two feet but the other feet is dry and store and has some small red spots on it. Reading on the web I’m guessing it’s atheletes foot but I’ve never had this before!

Any advice anyone can give could be great and thanks in advance!

Sorry honey, looks like athlete's foot and it can develop out of the blue. You can buy treatment's off the shelf but I swear to the effectiveness of tea trea oil products as they are anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. You could bathe the foot in warm water with a drop or two of tea trea oil in it, pat dry and then apply tea tree cream, which is available widely from pharmacies. Good luck x

Looks like athletes foot to me. Perhaps try and see a pharmacist they are really helpful. The talc treatment is the easiest to use in my experience if thats whats diagnosed.
