What is athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot is a fungal skin infection which causes a scaly, itchy rash that begins between your toes. The fungi that cause athlete’s foot thrive in warm and moist environments, meaning that if your feet sweat a lot and you are wearing tight-fitting shoes, you could be at more risk of developing athlete’s foot.
