Conditions
Tinea Pedis affects the skin on the feet and is caused by fungus. Also known as Athlete’s Foot, Tinea pedis commonly affects the areas between the toes and the bottoms of the feet. It can inflame the skin and cause a white, scaly rash with a red base. Other symptoms include itching, burning, peeling, and sometimes a slight odour.
Athlete’s Foot can be transmitted easily to other people via shared floors, gym mats, towels, and other surfaces so it needs to be treated as soon as you notice it.
Characteristics: pustules or vesicles around the arch of the foot.
Characteristics: are interdigital inflammation, odour, fissures, and maceration.
Characteristics: are red, dry, scaly skin on the sole and around the sides of the foot.
A podiatrist can help you pinpoint the best treatment for your particular type of athlete’s foot and can also help if the infection has spread to your nails.
