The term athlete's foot is a highly misleading phrase, as this condition does not only occur in athletes. Athletes foot is a common name given to a fungal infection of the skin that predominately occurs in between toes but can occur anywhere on the foot. If left untreated the condition can spread to other parts of the foot, hands and can even affect the face.
This condition can cause a great deal of discomfort and can affect an individual's quality of life. The skin involved may be red, swollen and may contain sticky fluid. Patients may also experience 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" can occur between the toes, sometimes accompanied by a soft white scale.
Symptoms include dry and itchy lesions. Patients often report a burning or stinging sensation. A common associated condition with athletes foot is a fungal nail infection. If athletes foot is not treated the lesion can become infected and extremely painful.
Not changing your socks on a regular basis can also encourage the build up of fungi in between the toes. Prevention is the key! Toe socks are ideal socks for people that suffer from athletes foot as they are made from 90% high quality cotton and 10% elastane, for a perfect foot and toe fit.
There are many treatments for athletes foot on the market however treatment is only permanently successful if the socks, shoes and the area affected are treated as well.
