Athlete’s foot is a contagious fungal infection that occurs in people whose feet are confined in shoes for long periods. The medical term for this condition is known as tinea pedis. It usually begins in between the toes, but it can spread to nails and other parts of the foot as well. Athletes’ foot was given its name because it is predominant among athletes who have to wear tight, fitted shoes for a prolonged duration. This infection can spread from one infected person to another through direct or indirect contact. Treatment can be done with the use of antifungal medications.
