What is Athlete’s Foot?

Athlete’s Foot, medically known as tinea pedis, is a common fungal infection of the feet and toes. It is caused by fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments such as showers, locker rooms, shoes, and socks. While it most often develops between the toes, it can also appear on the soles or sides of the feet.

Common Symptoms

• Persistent itching or burning on the feet or between the toes

• Very dry, scaly, cracked, or peeling skin

• Softened, whitish skin between the toes

• Splits or fissures in the skin

• Cracking on the soles or heels

• Unpleasant foot odour

Treatment & Prevention

Athlete’s foot is contagious and can be uncomfortable, but with the right care it can be effectively treated and prevented.

How to manage it:

• Use an antifungal treatment: Topical creams penetrate the skin to target the fungi and help relieve symptoms.

• Protect your feet in public areas: Always wear flip-flops or sandals in communal showers, changing rooms, and pools.

• Keep feet dry: Pay special attention to drying between the toes.

• Change socks daily: Replace them more often in hot weather or after sport.

• Choose breathable fabrics: Cotton, silk, and wool socks are preferable to synthetic materials.

• Give your feet air: Remove shoes at home to allow feet to breathe.

• Maintain good hygiene: Wash towels frequently and avoid sharing them to prevent the spread of infection.
