Understanding Athletes Foot
Athlete’s foot targets the skin’s outer layer, most often between the toes and on the soles. It thrives in warm, moist environments and can lead to persistent itching, redness, and flaking.
When untreated, the infection can extend to the toenails (onychomycosis) or other body areas, and cracked skin may allow bacteria to enter, causing further irritation or infection.
- Itching, burning, or stinging between toes
- Cracked, peeling, or dry skin on feet
- Red or raw skin from scratching
- Thickened or discolored toenails
