When it's on your feet it's called "tinea pedis" and when it's on your head/scalp, it's called "tinea capitis", but yes, they are the same thing.

Carriers may have no symptoms. Treatment of carriers is necessary to prevent spread of infection. Antifungal shampoo twice weekly for four weeks may be sufficient but if cultures remain positive, oral treatment is recommended.
Suitable shampoos include:
2.5% selenium sulfide
1% to 2% zinc pyrithione
Povidone-iodine
2% Ketoconazole

Sounds like a fungal infection such as ringworm. There are numerous safe treatments over the counter for fungal infections of the scalp. The old home remedy is a vinegar rinse 1/2 cup white vinegar:1/2cup water after a shampoo and then rinse with water after the vinegar-it will make your hair shiny and you won't smell like a salad. It may sting just a bit.

Red Blistery bumps are not athletes foot or any kind of yeast. She should either see a doc for a proper diagnosis or just leave them along and keep her hands off of her scalp in case they are something contagious and see if they heal on their own.
