Answers:
White cracked skin on the edge of your feet may not be athlete's foot, which generally grows between the toes. It may just be callous formation.
True athletes foot is caused by a dermatophyte, a fungus, that invades the skin and sets up house in the dermal layers. The best OTC remedy is, in my opinion, terbinafine, sold as Lamisil in ointment or cream form. If it does not solve your problem in a week or two, you need to try a softening cream and a soapstone abrasive device to try to scrub off the callous
