Can Toddlers Have Athlete's Foot?

My son is 20 months old and I think he might have athlete's foot. He has been scratching the bottom of his foot and there is cracking skin between his toes. I thought his shoes were pinching so he's wearing shoes with more room now. I've applied neosporin and its not helping. I've also tried cortizone cream. I've never seen athlete's foot.
