Did you know an Athlete’s foot infection can go unnoticed?
Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that occurs on the foot. It can be picked up by walking barefoot in changing rooms or anywhere else someone has walked barefoot with Athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot thrives in the moist, warm environment provided by footwear.
Athlete’s foot is usually itchy, it can appear as a white, moist area between the toes or as a dry scaly rash. It is sometimes mistaken for dry skin.
Untreated, Athlete’s foot can increase the likelihood of developing fungal nail infections and may make you more susceptible to secondary skin infections.
Podiatrists are experts at diagnosing, treating and advising on the prevention of Athlete’s foot.
