    Extractions: Athlete's foot is a very common condition of itchy, peeling skin on the feet. In fact, it's so common that most people will have at least one episode at least once in their lives. It's less often found in women and children under age 12. (Symptoms that look like athlete's foot in young children most probably are caused by some other skin condition). Because the fungi grow well in warm, damp areas, they flourish in and around swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms. Tinea pedis got its common name because the infection was common among athletes who often used these areas.

    Extractions: HEART CANCER WOMEN MEN ... ALL TOPICS A - Z Ringworm Tinea capis is usually called ringworm, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Like most tinea infections, as it grows it spreads out in a circle leaving normal looking skin in between. That makes it look like a ring. At the edge, the skin will be red, raised and scaly. Some people think it looks like a worm under the skin and that's where the name "ringworm" comes from. There is no worm under the skin, though. Instead it is a fungus growing on the skin. If it's in the scalp, the hair can be destroyed, leaving bald patches. Jock Itch Tinea cruris is commonly referred to as jock itch according to AAFP. The fungus grows in the warm, moist area around the groin. It generally occurs in men and particularly in athletes because of the sweating they do. Athlete's Foot Tinea pedis is the term for athlete's foot. Once again it's a fungal infection, this time of the feet. It usually shows up as redness and scaling between the toes. The fungus grows in the warm moist atmosphere when feet aren't dried off or when they get very sweaty. You can pick up the fungus in the locker room but it's harder than you think and you can avoid it by drying your feet well. The fungus can also infect the toenails. Treatments Most tinea infections can be treated with a topical cream. Sometimes however oral medications will be needed. Treatment can last for months to fully get rid of the infection. No one is sure why people get tinea versicolor; however with other tinea infections, the best defense is a good offense.

    Extractions: The great renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci called the foot "a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art". Athlete's foot is a misnomer. It does not describe the beauty of the foot nor describe the physical condition of the foot, it is merely the name given to the infection occurring on the foot. This infection is caused by a fungus and is now appropriately named as Tinea Pedis.

    http://footandankle.upmc.com/AthletesFoot/Treatment.htm
    
    Extractions: You may need a prescription medication, because an over-the-counter product may not be effective in fighting the fungus. The doctor may prescribe an antifungal medication to be taken by mouth or applied to the feet. It is important to continue taking any prescribed medication for the entire time instructed by the doctor. Do not stop any medication without the doctor's approval, even if the infected areas look better. Treatment generally lasts 4-8 weeks. Shortening the treatment plan often results in another infection. Wash your hands after applying topical medications.

    Extractions: Are your feet, blistered, cracked, or peeling between your toes? Do they itch? Do the soles of your feet show signs of redness or scaling? If you said yes to any of these questions, you may have athlete's foot. Athlete's foot is a fungus that thrives in warm, moist, and enclosed environments. The fungus breeds in places like snug, poorly ventilated shoes, damp sweaty socks, locker rooms, and gym shower floors. Athlete's foot is usually a harmless infection that is often treated successfully with an over-the-counter anti-fungal medicine such as Micatin, Tinactin or Desenex. If it is not treated, your skin may develop blisters and cracks that can lead to a secondary bacterial infection. Athlete's foot should clear up within a week or two of beginning treatment. If it does not, you should seek medical care. It is important to use all of the anti-fungal cream that is prescribed for you. While your skin may look better with treatment, the infection can remain for some time afterwards and could recur. Athlete's foot is not very contagious. One family member may have it without infecting others living in the same house. The fungus will not grow on dry, normal skin. Follow these tips to prevent athlete's foot:

     Extractions: Call for an appointment. What is it? Athlete's foot probably got its name from the type of person who is often affected, but it is simply a skin fungus which can infect anyone. The technical name is tinea pedis. There are several varieties of this fungus, some more resistant to treatment than others. Another commonly used name is "ringworm" of the feet. Active people (often athletes) generate elevated skin temperature in the process of dissipating body heat and this combined with perspiration and the darkness inside of shoes are ideal growing conditions for tinea pedis. The fungus can effect most any part of the foot, but has a special liking for the spaces between the fourth and fifth toes. The same fungus can infect the groin at times and occasionally produces an allergic reaction which shows itself as a rash on the hands. Males are more commonly infected than females. Athlete's foot is transmissible, but usually indirectly through such means as contaminated gymnasium floors and showers, or borrowing contaminated shoes and socks.
