Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection that can cause itching, burning, redness, peeling, scaling, cracks, and irritation between the toes or on the soles of the feet. It can develop after walking barefoot in public areas, using locker rooms or pools, wearing tight or non-breathable footwear, or when feet remain sweaty and damp.
Early care can help prevent the infection from spreading or becoming persistent. Treatment may include appropriate antifungal creams or prescription medication when recommended by a podiatrist. Keeping your feet clean and dry, changing socks regularly, wearing breathable footwear, and avoiding shared towels or socks can also help reduce the risk.
If you are experiencing persistent foot or skin changes, Podiatry Foot & Ankle Clinic can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate foot and ankle care.
