Athlete's foot is a fungal infection (fungus) of the skin that manifests itself by the appearance of small red circular lesions, skin scaling and itching. Athlete's foot can cause a bad odor. This infection is often found between the toes and can also affect the entire foot. The athlete's foot is contagious. Transmission usually takes place in humid environments (showers, public cloakrooms, gymnasium).
Evaluation by a podiatrist is necessary to eliminate any other possibility of pathology with similar manifestations (psoriasis, eczema, etc.).
