Understanding Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal infection that commonly affects the feet. It thrives in warm and humid environments, making summer the ideal breeding ground for the fungus.

- Itching, burning, or stinging sensations on the feet
- Redness, inflammation, or a rash-like appearance
- Peeling, cracking, or blistering of the skin, particularly between the toes
- Dry, flaky skin on the soles or sides of the feet
Causes and Prevention
Explore the causes of athlete’s foot and discover effective preventative measures to keep your feet healthy throughout the summer. Key prevention tips include:
- Keeping your feet clean and dry, especially between the toes
