Who has a home remedy for athlete's foot???

I think I might have it. Or is athletes foot the same as fungus on a toe nail??? Serious answers please, I don't want my toe to look ugly....

Athlete's foot and nail fungus (onychomycosis) can occur separately or together. You'll know if you have nail fungus as the nail becomes yellowed (thickens over time) and has a loose dust-like debris underneath.
There is no home remedy to get rid of fungal diseases, but over-the-counter products can. In a bad case your doctor (or podiatrist) would prescribe Lamisil or some other similar treatment.

If you don't want medicine, just wash your feet daily with warm water and non-perfumed soap. Dry between the toes (if it isn't too painful) and wear clean cotton or wool socks.

I recommend a doctor visit though.

I find urinating on my feet while in the shower keeps athletes foot away.
