Athlete's
What is Athlete's Foot?
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a contagious fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet. The fungus thrives in warm, moist environments like showers and locker rooms. It is often spread when people walk barefoot in these public places, through direct contact, or by sharing contaminated towels or shoes.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Athlete’s foot can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms. Look out for these common signs:
- Itching and Burning: A persistent itching or stinging sensation, especially between the toes.
- Cracked and Peeling Skin: Scaling, peeling, or cracked skin on the soles or between the toes.
- Redness and Blisters: Inflamed skin and, in some cases, small blisters.
- Dryness: The soles and sides of your feet may become chronically dry.
- Thick, Discolored Toenails: The fungus can spread to toenails, causing them to thicken and change color.
