OVERVIEW
Athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) is a common fungal infection that occurs on the feet, usually between the toes. Athlete's foot is very contagious and can be easily transmitted in public places where people are most likely to be barefoot, such as locker rooms, showers, and swimming pools. A study revealed that up to 15% to 25% of people will have athlete's foot at least once in their life.

Athlete's foot is caused by a fungal infection of the skin caused by dermatophytes, particularly the Trichophyton species.
Medications for athlete's foot include topical antifungal prescription creams like clotrimazole, miconazole, oral antifungal medications like itraconzole or fluconazole, steroid creams to reduce swelling, and even antibiotics if a bacterial infection develops. However, even with the best conventional medications, athlete's foot can still return.
