Learn more about an athlete's foot
Athlete's foot got its name because of high incidences among athletes, but anyone can contract this common foot ailment. It is seen most frequently in teen-aged and adult males, but women are just as susceptible. People with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable.
The fungi that causes athlete's foot thrives in warm, moist conditions, so you can be at risk for developing it if you:
- Wear closed shoes, especially if they are vinyl, rubber or plastic-lined
- Live in warm, humid conditions
- Perspire a great deal
- Keep your feet wet for prolonged periods of time
- Develop a minor skin or nail injury on your foot, giving the fungi an opportunity to cause an infection
