Athletes Foot (Fungal Infection)

Definition:
      A number of contagious different parasitic fungi that infect the skin and nails of the toes. This results in the condition known as athlete’s foot.

Symtoms:
      The most common symptoms of Athlete’s Feet are itching, blistering, cracking, and scaling of the skin in the affected areas, which are usually around the feet area and sometimes in the hands.

Cause:
      The main cause is the lack of proper hygiene. The fungi tend to spread via moisture on the ground. Once this fungi infects the feet and are continually exposed to moisture (lack of proper air circulation of the feet), they tend grow and spread quickly, mainly around the foot area and sometimes around the hand area.

Essential:
      Keeping the feet dry is very important for preventing and fighting athlete's foot.
      After showering or bathing, drying or careful use of a hair dryer is recommended.
      Sunlight is also a great tool used historically in fighting fungi.
