Are these symtoms of Athlete's Foot?

I have been suffering from these itchiness for a real long time now and just learned it could possibly be the case of athlete's foot. I had gone to the doctor before, but he kept prescribing medication, both capsules and cream, that barely help the itching.

I have done research on the possible symptoms of athlete's foot. However, it mainly mentions the itchiness between the toes. I am suffering the itchiness on the upper part of the toes--all of them, in fact. There are a few swelling, and when it itches, it feels somewhat like being poked with needles at the same time. There are a few toes that are turning a purple shade and the skin has wrinkled slightly.

Is this likely athlete's foot or it may be some other type of disease/fungi?

I appreciate any information that might could confirm this for me.

I do also suffer the itchiness whenever my feet are warm, such as wrapping myself warmly in a blanket or showering with alittle warmer than warm water. At times, my toes do feel as if it's boiling from within (burning?).

I would look into ECZEMA SKIN PROBLEMS.

It can be worse than athlete's feet and can occur anyplace. A sufferer.

Go to another doctor.

Hi, I actually read this really good article about it, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure:

See a foot doctor immediately. He can prescribe something like Lotramin that will help.

Find a different doctor, and go soon. the discoloration doesn't sound good.
