The infection is one of the group called tinea by physicians, and the full name tinea pedis, refers to a fungal infection and its location ( pedis means "foot"). Other locations for tinea infection include the scalp ( tinea capitis, or ringworm), the genitals ( tinea cruris ), the nails ( tinea unguium ), and the entire body ( tinea corporis The various fungi responsible for athlete's foot thrive in warm, moist, enclosed places, such as that found inside poorly ventilated shoes and sweaty socks. The infection in the feet causes the skin between the toes to become itchy and sore, to crack and sometimes peel away. Most commonly, the space between the fourth and fifth toe is affected. Athlete's foot plagues more men than women, and rarely occurs in children under age 12. It is most common during the hot, humid months. Sometimes, the infection can clear up spontaneously, simply by improving foot hygiene and wearing better-ventilated shoes. Though harmless, the condition needs to be treated so it doesn't spread further. Left untreated, the infection can spread over the entire foot and into the nails, or a secondary bacterial infection may develop as well. Return to Top Key Symptoms

Zoophilic dermatophytes primarily infect animals, but they may be transmitted from animals to humans. Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes are the most common of the zoophilic dermatophytes that occasionally infect humans.(1) Less common and clinically less significant species are Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum equinum, Microsporum gallinae and Microsporum nanum.(2) M. canis and T mentagrophytes infect many different animals, both wild and domestic.(1) The other zoophilic dermatophyte species are animal-specific, with T verrucosum infecting cattle, M. equinum infecting horses, M. gallinae infecting chickens and M. nanum infecting pigs. The clinical appearance of these fungal infections in animals varies from subclinical lesions to widespread, crusted plaques with hair loss. Cattle and horses present with discrete round plaques of hair loss covered with a thick, whitish gray crust.

These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments such as shoes, stockings, and the floors of public showers, locker rooms, and swimming pools. Athlete's foot is transmitted through contact with a cut or abrasion on the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot. In rare cases, the fungus is transmitted from infected animals to humans. Dermatophyte (skin) infections cause raised, circular pimples or blisters that resemble the lesions caused by ringworm. The infections are named for the part of the body they infect; therefore, tinea pedis refers to an infection of the feet.
