Brief Answer:
Soft corn

Detailed Answer:
Thank you. I have viewed the images

I think its a 'soft corn' rather than a fungal infection. I suggest you to use a topical keratolytic (e.g Lactic acid and Salicylic acid liquid) commonly used for corns and warts.. Use a footwear that is well fitting with a wider and deeper toe box. You may also use some sort of cushoning (e.g a tape or soft wool) between the affected toes to prevent the toes from rubbing against each other.

Regards
