Could I have athlete's foot

I was walking around New York for a few hours recently, and my shoes got wet, then I had to go to an event, with my wet shoes for about 3-4 hours, and I couldn't take them off. when I finally got back, my get were pale and very very wrinkly. they dried, and I went to sleep. when I woke up, they were sore, like a burny feeling, and they looked slightly shiny. I had to walk around more, and at first my shoes weren't wet, but they got wet again, and my feet were wet but not as bad as the first time. when they dried, it was a little more painful. I wore different shoes, which never got wet, because everything was shoveled, but I was on my feet a long time. when I just woke up now, my feet are really sore. it feels like they are itchy, and burning. there is a little white in between the grooves in my foot. is this like a fungus, or is it just from being on my feet and in so much water?

Keep them clean and dried, do your shoes fit you well? Athletes foot is easy to catch, and easy to get rid of too. You could have picked it up in a shower, or on a rug at a hotel. Just go to the drug store and get some spray or cream. It will be gone in a flash! Good luck!

Oh yes, it will be fine. No damage will happen, they will be a little itchy maybe.

But all diseases are caused by germs. Were there germs in the shoes, or did they crawl in as you walked the streets of New York?

Take a good shower, and use plenty of soap on your feet. Use some foot spray or talcum powder on your feet. Feel better!

It's not between my toes, it's on the balls of my foot

It probably is athletes foot you want to wash it and make sure you wear DIFFERENT shoes ok! Try not to get those shoes wet or it will get worse. Also take ibuprofen for the pain it will help
