    I think its a type of athletes foot.   Also yes,you do have a plantar wart I can see on the sole of your foot.     Both conditions are very contagious and will spread if not treated.    Go see your pharmacist who should have a couple of easy remedies,  Keep your feet out of shoes and socks as much as possible.....and keep them clean and dry.  These 2 conditions love a sweaty,moist,warm environment.     If you do wear socks a lot I would advise you to get rid of all your old pairs and invest in new [cotton if possible] ones so that the infections are not transferred again.
