Athlete's foot can be transmitted
by direct contact with an
infected person. The fungus can also be acquired by using the
shoes or socks of an infected person. Walking barefoot in damp
and warm areas such as common shower rooms and lockers can also
be a cause of fungus transmission. Poor foot hygiene such as
not
regularly washing feet with soap and water can help speed up
any
possible infection.
Symptoms of an athlete's foot
infection include dry and scaly
skin from which inflammation and blisters may develop. Itchiness
as well as a burning sensation can be experienced brought about
by breaking blisters which can expose raw skin that can cause

of topical as well as oral medication used to keep fungal
infections like athlete's foot. Athlete's foot cream also can
