Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet. It often starts between the toes and can spread to the sole or sides of the foot. The fungus grows best in warm, damp places.

It is common in teens, active people, and anyone whose feet stay sweaty. You may notice itching, peeling, or red skin. Treating it early keeps it from spreading to the nails or other people.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat athlete's foot in Murfreesboro.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We look at the pattern of the rash and ask how long you have had it. Other skin problems can look similar, such as eczema or contact rashes. If needed, we can gently scrape a small sample of skin to check for fungus.

Step 2 · Treatment

Antifungal creams or sprays are the main treatment, and stronger options may be prescribed when needed. Keep feet dry, change socks often, and let shoes air out between wears. Wear sandals in public showers. Finish the full treatment plan, even after the itching stops, so the fungus does not return.

Surgery is not part of treating athlete's foot. Treatment focuses on medicine and keeping the skin dry.
