Overview

"Common fungal infections of the feet include athlete's foot, also called tinea pedis. The term ""athlete's foot"" refers to a fungal infection that is commonly seen on the feet of those who engage in strenuous physical activity and whose feet are constantly in close contact with communal surfaces like gym floors and locker room shower stalls. However, anyone can develop athlete's foot, not just athletes. - Trichophyton is the most frequent fungus responsible for the illness. The feet are a perfect breeding ground for these fungi because of their warm, damp conditions. Itching, burning, redness, peeling, and cracking skin are common signs of athlete's foot, which is most common between the toes and on the soles of the feet. In some cases, blisters may occur, and the infection can spread to other parts of the foot or to the toenails. - If you ignore athlete's foot, it can become painful and difficult to treat. It's also possible for it to be contagious, spreading from person to person via droplets or contaminated surfaces. Athlete's foot can be prevented or treated by always keeping feet clean and dry, by wearing shoes that allow air circulation, and by applying an over-the-counter antifungal cream or powder. A doctor may decide to administer stronger antifungal medicine for more severe cases."
