maybe but it could also be planter psoriasis.

but for gangrene, the surface of your skin may look normal at first. As the condition worsens, the skin may become pale and then turn other colours such as grey or purplish red. The skin may look bubbly.

The picture does not look like gangrene. This is most likely an athlete's foot infection

What is athletes foot?

A common fungal infection affecting the skin of the feet is called athlete's foot, or tinea pedis. This kind of dermatophyte infection is mostly brought on by fungi that are members of the Trichophyton genus.

Extremely contagious, athlete's foot is frequently spread in warm, wet areas like swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms. Athlete's foot is generally a mild condition, but if left untreated, it can lead to more severe infections and complications.
