Detailed explanation-1: -Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection that usually begins between the toes. It commonly occurs in people whose feet have become very sweaty while confined within tight-fitting shoes. Signs and symptoms of athlete’s foot include an itchy, scaly rash.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myth 7: Athlete’s foot only affects the feet. Athlete’s foot can spread if you scratch the itch and then touch other parts of your body, including your groin (jock itch) and the skin under your arms. It can also spread to other parts of your body via contaminated sheets or clothing.
