What Is Athlete’s Foot?
Athlete’s foot is a common fungal skin infection that affects the feet, most often between the toes. It develops when fungi grow in warm, moist environments such as shoes, locker rooms, and public showers.
The infection can cause itching, burning, and peeling of the skin. In some cases, it may spread to other areas of the foot or even to the toenails if left untreated.
Although common, athlete’s foot can become persistent or recurrent without proper treatment.
