Eczema: Sounds like it may be dishidrotic eczema. Could be contact dermatitis from some exposure to chemicals or too frequent hand washing or it could be a fungal infection. I would see your doctor. In many cases avoidance, lotion/emollients, steroid cream and/or antifungals are needed. It should be treatable though and can be a very troublesome condition.

Psoriasis: Could be either psoriasis or a fungal infection. Go see a dermatologist or a podiatrist so that a biopsy of the skin can be performed to find out exactly what it could. I have also see scalded skin syndrome that appears as peeling itchy feet. This is bacterial infection.

Fungus: Is the most likely cause. But many things can cause this. I suggest you see a dermatologist.
