According to Wikipedia, “Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itching of affected areas. It is typically transmitted in moist areas where people walk barefoot, such as showers or bathhouses.” Athlete’s foot is a very common disease amongst people, especially those who have very dry and sensitive skin. Moisture plays a major role in the development of this disease. Fungal infections are promoted when the skin is moist due to perspiration and one should try the following tips to avoid and cure this disease: -1. Seek a dermatologist as soon as you come across this disease.
2. Try to bathe regularly with a soap that is recommended by the dermatologist. Thoroughly clean and then dry yourself to ensure that your body is not moist.
3. Try avoiding the sharing of clothes and bath towels with your family members.
4. Wear clean, dry and comfortable socks that encourage the flow of air.
