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:
- Red and itchy skin
- Burning or stinging pain
- 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]
