Fungal infections show up in many parts of your body, including your feet. Tinea pedis, commonly called athlete’s foot, is a common fungal infection that spreads easily.
Most cases of athlete’s foot aren’t serious and won’t lead to other health problems. But if you suffer from a condition that weakens your immune system or you’re diabetic, athlete’s foot should be treated by a podiatrist to avoid further health problems.
The same organism that causes foot fungus can also cause toenail fungus, which requires a different treatment.
The symptoms of a foot fungus are obvious, and knowing what to look for can help you decide when to seek treatment.
