Athlete’s foot is a common foot fungus that spreads easily in public places such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, locker rooms, and showers, as these are moist conditions where people usually walk barefoot. The symptoms of athlete’s foot are itchy, burning feet with scaling and redness between the toes. Eventually, the inflammation can become painful, causing blisters and cracks in the skin. The fungus can also occur along the soles, arches, and sides of the feet. The condition can be chronic, and bacterial infections can develop in the cracks and blisters resulting from athlete’s foot.
