History and Symptoms

  • The most common symptom of Athlete's foot is cracked, flaking, peeling skin between the toes or side of the foot. Other symptoms can include:
  1. Red and itchy skin
  2. Burning or stinging pain
  3. Blisters that ooze or get crusty
  • Blisters and cracked skin may lead to exposed raw tissue, pain, swelling, and inflammation.
  • Secondary bacterial infection can accompany the fungal infection, sometimes requiring a course of oral antibiotics.[1][2]
  • Affected areas appear erythematous with whitish scaly skin.
  • Feet are usually malodorous.
  • Rarely, patients can have ulcerative lesions, particularly in diabetic patients.[3]
  • The infection can be spread to other areas of the body, such as the groin, and usually is called by a different name once it spreads, such as tinea corporis on the body or limbs and tinea cruris (jock itch or dhobi itch) for an infection of the groin.
  • Tinea pedis most often manifests between the toes, with the space between the fourth and fifth digits most commonly afflicted.[4][5][6]
