Athlete's Foot
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A fungal foot infection, commonly known as athlete's foot, is a skin condition caused by fungi that tend to thrive in warm, damp environments, especially between the toes.
Common symptoms:
- Itching, burning, and redness
- Peeling or cracked skin between the toes
- Sometimes a foul odor or blisters
Common causes: prolonged use of closed shoes, moisture, walking barefoot in shared damp areas, and sweating all favor its appearance.
Which specialist treats it? A dermatologist evaluates skin conditions and guides their care; a family doctor can also manage these cases. If the discomfort persists, spreads, or comes back, discussing it with a professional helps you manage it better.
