It can be flaky, dry, cracked itchy skin. It can be very red in color also. Sometimes there is a smell with it and blisters.
What causes it: Shoes cause a warm, dark and humid environment that encourages fungal growth. You can contract it in dressing rooms, locker room showers, or in hotel rooms and swimming pools.
How to prevent it: Check your feet everyday and be aware of changes or unusual growths. 2. Keep shoes and socks dry. 3. Wash feet daily with soap and water and be sure to dry between the toes. Use a hair dryer to get between the toes if you can't use a towel. 4. Change shoes regularly. Switch off between shoes, don't wear the same pair every day. 5.
