🦶 **ITCHING BETWEEN YOUR TOES? DON’T LET FUNGUS GET A FOOTHOLD.**
Athlete’s foot (**tinea pedis**) isn’t just an athlete problem. This common fungal infection loves **warm, moist environments**—especially sweaty feet trapped inside shoes.
# # # 🔬 EDUCATION CORNER — WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING BACK?
Athlete’s foot is usually caused by **dermatophyte fungi**. Watch for:
🔥 Itching or burning between the toes
🦶 Peeling or scaly skin
💥 Cracking or fissures
🔴 Redness or irritation
💧 Sometimes small blisters
Think of the perfect environment for fungus:
👟 **Sweaty feet + 💧 Moisture + 🌡️ Warm shoes = 🍄 Fungal growth**
# # # 🧦 TREAT THE FEET — AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Treatment is only part of the battle. Help prevent it from returning:
✓ Keep your feet clean and dry
✓ Change damp socks regularly
✓ Let shoes dry between uses
✓ Wear footwear in communal showers, gyms and pool areas
✓ Avoid sharing towels, socks or shoes
💡 **CHECK YOUR TOENAILS TOO:** Athlete’s foot and **toenail fungus can occur together**, and fungal infection may recur or spread.
