Athlete's foot is caused by an infection of the skin with a certain type of fungus. In its worst case, athlete's foot can cause very itchy, scaly, and red skin, sometimes with blisters or even open sores. These sores can be painful and may even ooze pus. In severe cases, athlete's foot may cause cracking and peeling of the skin on the feet and even between the toes. It is important to seek medical care if your athlete's foot does not respond to over-the-counter treatments.

The worst case of athlete's foot can be quite severe and present a range of uncomfortable symptoms. It is most commonly characterized by itchy, scaly, and red skin between the toes and on the soles of the feet. The infected area may also be sore, cracked, and blistered. In some cases, athlete’s foot can spread to other areas of the body, such as the hands, arms, legs, and torso.
The most severe cases of athlete’s foot can be painful and may include an infection of the toenail. This can cause the toenail to become discolored, thick, and brittle. In extreme cases, the nail may even fall off. The infection can also cause intense itching, burning, and stinging sensations. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the bone, leading to more serious complications.
If you suspect you may have athlete’s foot, it is important to contact your doctor right away to prevent the infection from spreading and becoming more serious.

Athlete's foot, or tinea pedis, is a fungal infection that typically appears on the feet, toes, and sometimes the hands and nails. Severe cases of athlete's foot can present with red, scaly, cracked, and even bleeding skin, intense itching, and bad odor. In extreme cases, athlete's foot can cause secondary bacterial infections that can lead to blisters, open sores, and even ulcers. In the worst cases, if left untreated, athlete's foot can cause permanent damage to the skin and nails. It is important to take proper preventative measures to avoid contracting athlete's foot, such as wearing sandals in public showers and changing socks often. If you do contract athlete's foot, it is important to seek medical advice and use antifungal medications to treat the infection.

The worst case of athlete's foot usually involves redness, itching, burning, and/or stinging sensations. In more severe cases, the skin may become cracked and/or blistered, with a distinct odor, and the infection may spread to the toenails, causing them to thicken and discolor. In extreme cases, the infection may progress to cellulitis, a potentially life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.
