ATHLETES FOOT TREATMENT
What is Athlete’s Foot?
A common fungal infection—a condition brought on by a fungus—is athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot is another name for ringworm. The term tinea pedis is also used to describe athlete’s foot. The word ringworm is also referred to as tinea, and the prefix pedis means foot or feet. Athlete’s foot causes an itchy, stinging, burning rash to develop on one or both of your feet. Although it can affect your tops, soles, and heels, the area between your toes is where athlete’s foot most usually develops.
As a result of this infection, your skin may start to scald, crack, or blister. Sometimes you may even notice that your feet smell.
How does Athletes Foot spread?
You can get athlete’s foot by contacting the foot of a person who already has it. Going barefoot on contaminated surfaces in or around locker rooms or swimming pools is the most typical method that people get it. When your shoes are excessively tight and restrict airflow around your feet, the fungi then start to grow inside of them.
Athlete’s foot affects everyone. However, the populations most typically afflicted are men and people over 60.
1. Diabetes.
2. Obesity.
3. An immune system that is weakened
4. There could be tissue damage or injuries to your feet.
Symptoms of Athletes Foot
Symptoms of athlete’s foot might vary from person to person. Some people have severe pain, although others have minimal or no symptoms.
Feet that are peeling, cracking, and scaling; blisters, rashes, or skin that has softened and degenerated; and blisters (maceration). a burning or itchy sensation.
Your symptoms may differ depending on the type of athlete’s foot you have.
Toe Web Infection:
The fourth and fifth toes are usually affected by toe web infection. Skin starts to blister, peel, and split. The skin could degenerate much more as a result of a bacterial infection.
Moccasin-type Infection:
The initial sign of a moccasin-type infection could be a small bit of foot soreness. It could then cause the skin on your heel or sole to thicken and crack. In severe cases, the toenails could get infected.
Vesicular Infection:
Typically, this type of infection starts with a sudden outbreak of fluid-filled blisters. Blisters often appear on your foot’s sole, though they might appear anywhere else. A bacterial infection is another possibility.
Ulcerative Infection:
Athlete’s foot with an ulcerative infection is the least frequent type of the condition. Open sores (ulcers) frequently form between your toes. It’s possible that the bottoms of your feet will become open sores.
