Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal infection of the skin of the foot. It is a very common condition, particularly among athletes, in which the skin on the feet becomes scaly, itchy, and inflamed. It is caused by a fungus that grows on the feet and can spread from person to person.

Signs and Symptoms of Athlete's Foot

The most common signs and symptoms of athlete's foot include:

• Itching and burning of the skin

• Scaling and flaking of the skin

• Redness of the skin

• Blisters or sores on the skin

• Cracking of the skin

• Foul odor

Causes of Athlete's Foot

Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin of the feet. Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, so they are most commonly found in areas where people walk barefoot, such as pools, showers, and locker rooms. The fungus can also be spread from person to person, so it is important to practice good hygiene when sharing items such as towels or shoes.

Treating Athlete's Foot

The best way to treat athlete's foot is to keep your feet clean and dry. Wear clean socks and shoes that allow your feet to breathe. Change your socks and shoes regularly, and use powder to keep your feet dry. Over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays can also help treat the infection. If the infection does not respond to at-home treatments, a doctor can prescribe stronger medications.
