Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection of the feet. The fungus lives in the outer layers of the skin and causes infections of different types. Fungal infection of the feet is called Tinea Pedis as Tinea is the medical word for fungus, and Pedis means feet.
Fungi and bacteria usually invade skin surfaces between toes, and cause excess sweating, itchiness and unpleasant odors.

Tinea Pedis or Athlete's Foot can take different forms:
- A scaly dry rash on the bottom and sides of feet. This type of athlete's foot is called a "moccasin" pattern.
- Cracks or "fissures" between the toes, sometimes with soft white scale.
- Many people with athlete's foot also have a fungal infection of the toenails. The toenail infection is called Onychomycosis.
Signs Of Athlete's Foot
- cracked and peeling areas between the toes
- redness and scaling on the soles of the feet
- intense itching
- small blisters that ooze clear fluid
- burning sensation
Toenail fungal infections may look different in different people. Most people have a white or yellow thickening under the nail. Onychomycosis is common and many adults have some fungus of their toenails. However, Onychomycosis can make the toenails difficult to cut and some people are predisposed to ingrown toenails because of the fungus. The fungus can also provide openings or crack in the skin that may allow easier access for bacterial infections of the feet and legs.
There are many medications available for treating athlete's foot. Most treatment results in control, rather than cure of the condition. Individuals with diabetes or circulatory problems should take care especially good care of their feet.
