Athlete's Foot (cont.)

Athlete's Foot Symptoms

  • Most commonly, athlete's foot is characterized by cracking and itchy, moist, white, scaly lesions or sores between the toes. It frequently spreads to the sole of the foot.
  • Another type of athlete's foot is a dry, scaly form that causes a reddish "moccasin-like" area over the soles of the feet. This type often affects both feet.
  • Less frequently, this infection may involve painful blistery lesions, which can be weepy and may have a strong odor.
