Athlete's foot

All about athlete's foot
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that develops in the moist areas between your toes and sometimes on other parts of your foot. The condition usually causes itching, stinging and burning.
The organisms that cause athlete's foot thrive in damp, close environments created by thick, tight shoes that squeeze the toes together and create warm, moist areas between them. Damp socks and shoes and warm, humid conditions also favour the organisms' growth. Plastic shoes in particular provide a welcoming environment for fungal growth and infection.
Athlete's foot is contagious and can be spread in the following ways:
Human to human - Direct, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person can spread the infection, but not everyone who carries the fungus develops signs and symptoms.
Object to human - The fungus is carried on fragments of skin or other particles that contaminate floors, mats, rugs, bed linens, clothes, shoes and other surfaces. Although transmission can occur within a household, the infection is more commonly passed along in public areas — locker rooms, saunas, swimming pools, communal baths and showers.
Animal to human - Household pets can pass along fungal infections to humans.
Treatment depends on type and severity. Most cases of athlete's foot can be treated at home using an antifungal medicine to kill the fungus or slow its growth. If it doesn't clear up, you will need to see your doctor and have prescription treatment.
Prevention
Keep your feet dry, especially between your toes. Go barefoot to let your feet air out as much as possible when you're home.
Wear socks made of natural material, like cotton or wool, or a synthetic fibre designed to draw moisture away from your feet.
Change socks regularly. If your feet sweat a lot, change your socks twice a day.
Wear light, well-ventilated shoes. Avoid shoes made of synthetic material, like vinyl or rubber.
Alternate shoes to allow time for one pair to dry.
Protect your feet in public places. Wear waterproof sandals or shower shoes in communal showers, pools, gyms and other public areas.
Don't borrow shoes. Borrowing risks spreading a fungal infection.
