Athlete’s Foot: How to Get Rid of This Common and Incredibly Itchy Fungal Infection

Athlete’s foot is one of the most common skin infections around, and usually attacks your feet in the dark, damp areas between your toes. Fungus, of course, love moist environments of all kinds, including showers, swimming pools and locker rooms, the latter being why this infection got the name “athlete’s foot.”

Top Symptoms of Athlete’s Foot

If you have one or several of the symptoms below, you could have athlete’s foot:

• Itching, stinging or burning between your toes or on the soles of your feet
• Itchy blisters
• Cracking and peeling skin between your toes and on the soles of your feet
• Excessively dry skin on the bottoms or sides of your feet
• Thick, crumbly toenails that are discolored or pulling away from the nail bed

Not all skin irritations on your feet are athlete’s foot, however. Eczema, psoriasis or even a reaction to dyes or adhesives in your shoes can cause similar symptoms.
