Athlete's Foot

There is actually no easier treatment for a disease than prevention. This is also true with fungal infections such as athlete's foot. But before you can actually prevent one from happening, you must first know what causes it to happen. Let's first get to know what exactly is an athlete's foot.

People who suffer from athlete's foot will often experience itchiness in the areas in between their toes. This is the area most often affected by the fungus. Of course, itchiness can also reach the backs of the feet as well as the skins of the toes. The infection may also cause redness in the affected areas. The skin will often crack and when not treated, may result in blisters. In some cases, the toe nails may develop a yellowish color.
