Athlete's Foot or Dermatitis

Athlete's Foot or Dermatitis is an infection that is caused by various types of fungus. It is passed in public areas where people typically are in their bare feet such as water parks, pools, and hotel showers. Athlete's foot can be as mild as itching and scaling to as severe as quite painful inflammation and blisters. Like all fungus it thrives in dark, moist areas like the spaces between your toes and then spreads to other areas of your feet. In some cases, over-the-counter potions or powders can treat the fungus.
