Athlete’s Foot

The body normally hosts a variety of micro-organisms that could rapidly cause infections. "Athlete's foot" is a common description of a skin infection.

Athlete's foot causes scaling, flaking and itching of the affected skin. Blisters and cracked skin may also occur, leading to exposed raw tissue, pain, swelling and inflammation. Most often it manifests between the toes, particularly between the fourth and fifth. Transmission from person to person Athlete's foot is caused by a parasitic fungus and is a communicable disease. It is typically transmitted in moist environments where people walk barefoot, such as showers, swimming pools and locker rooms or by sharing footwear with an infected person. The various parasitic fungi that cause athlete's foot can also cause skin infections on other areas of the body, most often under the toenails. The nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or cloudy appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed.

Prevention

• Keeping feet clean and dry.
• Avoid sharing shoes and socks

The practices given in this section do not only help prevent spread of the fungus, they can also help greatly in managing and curing athlete's foot in an individual by reducing or eliminating re-exposure to the fungus in one's home environment.

Hygiene plays an important role in managing an athlete's foot infection. Since fungi thrive in moist environments, it is very important to keep feet and footwear as dry as possible.

Bathroom hygiene:

• Frequent laundering
• Wash sheets, towels, socks, underwear, and bedclothes in hot water (at 60 °C / 140 °F) to kill the fungus.
