Having athlete´s foot may feel uncomfortable and painful, especially with stubborn, recurrent and untreated infections.
There are different symptoms of athlete’s foot. They can vary greatly in their severity and do not always occur at the same time.
As the name suggests, ahtlete´s foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection of the foot and is most commonly found between the toes.
However, it may also appear on the soles, heels and sides of the feet and in this case is known as moccasin-type tinea pedis.
Athlete’s foot can affect anyone, though there are certain people who may be at higher risk as they live or work in conditions that promote fungi growth.
