Itching. Scaling skin.

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

Itchy red rash on the outer side of left foot. Not painfull, but becomes itchy when my sucks become a bit moisturised. Has gradually developed over the last 10 days in connection with new job, which involves standing up for a long period. Right foot is normal and normal blood supply to both feet. Will it disappear? Do I need to be concerned about this? Wondering if it's some sort of an infectious disease. Are there any medical solutions?
