Athlete's Foot

Athlete's Foot

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection affecting the skin on the feet. Common symptoms include itching, redness, and cracked skin, often between the toes. Caused by the fungus Trichophyton, athlete's foot is contagious and can spread via direct contact or contaminated surfaces and leaves the skin vulnerable to bacterial infection. Treatment typically involves antifungal creams or ointments.
