What Causes A Red Rash Between The Toes?

My 13 year old son came home from camp with a red rash in between his toes(it is only between three of his toes). His dad is certain it is Athlete s Foot . Is a spray or a cream (like Lotrimin) better to treat it with? How often should he apply (whichever one is better)? Do I need to take him to the doctor or should we just try the over the counter medicines first.
