Common Skin Conditions

Athlete's Foot

Athlete’s foot is a type of fungal infection affecting the skin on the feet. It is a common infection and may present as persistent dry scaling of the soles of the feet, or as moist peeling of the skin between the toes. Other times the fungus can cause redness, itching and even blisters. This fungus prefers a warm, moist environment in order to grow, so it is important to keep feet as dry as possible to prevent athlete’s foot. If an infection develops, it can be treated with topical antifungal medications, although if it infects the toenails, an oral prescription medication may be necessary.
