About Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot is an infection, also called tinea pedis, caused when various types of fungus invade the skin. It usually occurs between the toes but can also occur on the bottom and sides of the feet and is contagious. The fungus can be spread to other parts of the body through contact and can cause jock itch.

How did I get athlete’s foot?
