Athlete’s foot is an often found infection of the skin, usually on the foot, and is caused by fungus. The most common cause of the infection is Trichophyton. The ringworm fungus “tinea” can be found in many places, including clothing, socks, pools, locker rooms and gyms. This fungus thrives and infects your upper dermal areas, when they remain irritated, warm and moist. You can be infected with fungus anywhere on your body, but the feet are obviously more prone to them, because of their moist and warm environment. The fungus can be spread when you come into contact with a person infected with it, or if you contact objects that are infected.
