Athlete's Foot

To treat athlete's foot, people usually see the dermatologist, since it is a fungal infection that affects the skin of the feet, especially between the toes. The podiatrist also helps with the care of the area.
What is it? A common skin fungal infection, encouraged by moisture and heat, which can be bothersome and spread in shared environments.
Common symptoms:
- Itching and burning between the toes
- Red, flaky, or cracked skin
- Bad odor and, at times, blisters
When to see a doctor? If the discomfort persists, spreads, or returns despite care, a professional evaluation helps confirm the diagnosis and guide the care of the skin.
