Hi Ebid
Here are some remedies to heal the issue.
Cause
The infectious fungal species thrives in warmth and dampness and is prevalent in gym locker rooms and around indoor swimming pools.
People with athlete's feet many times also have candidiasis (systemic yeast overgrowth) in the gastrointestinal tract. This must be treated for long-term relief of athlete's foot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Tea tree oil, patchouli, or geranium, applied topically to the infected areas.
Diet: Eat a whole foods diet with emphasis on raw food and less dairy products. Avoid foods high in yeast such as beer and breads with yeast. Avoid sugar of all sorts (including honey and fruit juices) for some weeks while antifungal methods are being used.
Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream®; Crab Apple.
Herbs: Fungicidal herbs are an effective topical treatment for athlete's foot. Examples are myrrh, tea tree, and garlic. Tea tree oil can also be applied directly or diluted with calendula oil for application to sensitive skin. Soaking the affected area in grapefruit seed extract can also be helpful, as can taking grapefruit seed extract orally.
Other useful herbal topical applications include citrus seed extract, honey and crushed garlic, and pau d'arco tea (wet tea bag for ten minutes and then leave the bag itself on the area or use gauze or cotton soaked in tea if area is too large).
Homeopathy: Calendula, Chamomilla, Belladonna, Merc sol., and Sulfur.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following supplements, taken alone or in combination with each other, are all useful in helping to prevent and treat athlete's foot: Acidophilus, Bifidobacteria and L. bulgaricus, garlic capsules, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.
Best of health to you

For athletes foot you can mix a solution of strong bleach in warmer water and soak them for a couple of minutes. I would only do this if it were really bad, it will burn but it will go away within a couple of days. As for nail fungus, go to the doctor, it will never go away unless you get treatment.

For the nail fungus, applying Vick's VapoRub twice a day right to the infected nail is supposed to cure that. It can't hurt to try it.
