Swelling of feet can be one side or affect both feet. It looks like it is only affecting one of your feet. This can be due to venous compression by a mass pressing on a large vein in the Groin/Pelvis . It can also occur due to blood clot in the leg veins(it is called DVT). Athletes foot is a superficial(on the surface) skin infection which does not cause swelling of the foot. Advise seek 2nd opini

A fungal infection can sometimes break the skin. This can allow a secondary bacterial infection can develop. You did not mention if the foot is red or tender to touch. I would seek your PCP or podiatrist
