Are these symptoms of athletes foot?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) May 13th, 2011 from iPhone

I don’t know where I would have picked up athletes foot but judging by the intense itching on and around my toe, I assume that’s what this is. My baby toe in particular is suffering the worst of all. At night it’s the itchiest. Almost unbearable. The itch is so intense I want to dig sharp instruments into my skin to relieve it. Gross, I know. Also on the skin around my toe it looks like the skin is getting flaky and peeling and the toe nail is looking a little different then the others. Is this athletes foot? Are there any natural home remedies you would care to share? I want to avoid having to buy embarassing and expensive creams at the drug store.
