What Is Athlete’s Foot and What Causes It?

Athlete’s foot is caused by a fungus that grows on the warm and moist areas of your skin, especially between your toes. The fungus often lives on floors, showers, locker rooms, or shoes. You can also get it from sharing socks, towels, or footwear with someone who has it.

Some factors that increase your risk of getting athlete’s foot include:

  • Wearing tight or synthetic shoes that don’t let your feet breathe

  • Sweating a lot or having wet feet for a long time

  • Diabetes, obesity, or a weakened immune system

  • Cuts or wounds on your feet

Frequently Asked Questions on Athlete’s Foot Treatment

Yes, athlete’s foot is contagious. You can get it from direct contact with someone who has it or from indirect contact with contaminated surfaces or objects.

We will educate you on effective preventive measures, such as practicing good foot hygiene, avoiding walking barefoot in public areas, and changing socks and shoes regularly.

You should avoid wearing nail polish if you have athlete’s foot. Nail polish can trap moisture and create a favorable environment for the fungus to grow. It can also interfere with the absorption of the antifungal medication.

Treatment duration depends on the infection’s severity and the individual’s response to therapy. Improvement is typically noticeable within a few weeks. Our dermatologists will guide you on the expected timeline based on your specific condition.
