General Athlete's Foot Information
Athlete’s foot, also called tinea pedis, is a fungal infection that thrives warm, damp environments. Fungi live off of dead skin cells on the calluses of the feet (especially in-between the toes). Athlete’s foot is the most common fungal skin infection; it affects 4 percent of Americans, the majority of them are men. Athlete’s foot fungus is highly contagious and is found most commonly in warm, damp places, like gymnasiums, locker rooms and indoor swimming pools.

Possible Causes of Athlete's Foot
The fungi responsible for athlete’s foot grow on or inside the top layer of the skin. The fungi grow easily on the feet, especially in-between the toes. Athlete’s foot is very contagious when encountered in areas that are warm and damp, such as showers and locker rooms. Some people are more susceptible to athlete’s foot than others. Once someone has athlete’s foot, he is more likely to get it again. The fungus spreads quicker when beneficial bacteria are destroyed by antibiotics, drugs or radiation.

Possible Symptoms of Athlete's Foot
Symptoms of athlete’s foot include inflammation, burning, itching, scaling, and blistering on the feet and in-between the toes. Athlete’s foot can become infected if not treated.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Athlete's Foot
Keep feet clean and dry. Wash feet thoroughly at the end of the day. Wear loose shoes that allow ample room for air to circulate. Wear shower sandals whenever showering in a locker room. Eat a balanced diet made up of raw vegetables, fish, chicken, whole grains and yogurt. Avoid cola, processed foods, refined grains and all forms of sugar.
