   Skin on the foot
    begins to peel and
    crack
   Skin between your
    toes burn and itch
   Small blisters on skin
   Toe nails change

   Bad odor of foot
There are three different types of Athlete's Foot and
  they are all diagnosed differently, but your podiatrist
   can tell when you have it. They will diagnose which
                      type you have.

Toe Web Infection: is occurring between the toes,
 normally with skin that is scaly, peeled, and cracked
Moccasin Type Infection: the skin on the bottom of the
 heel becomes thick and cracks
Vesicular Type Infection: there are fluid filled blisters
 under the skin typically on the bottom of the foot
Moccasin Type Infection




                           Toe Web Infection
Vesicular Type Infection
   Spread by simply touching an infected
    persons foot and then touching your own
   Easily spread and get it from coming in
    contact with the fungus
   Moisture between toes causes it as the
    bacteria grows faster in moist areas
   Can be treated at home with lotion, cream
    or spray that is bought in the store
   In bad cases, a doctor may give you a
    prescription
   Keep feet dry and clean
   Wear sandals or shoes in places where
    your feet can get wet
   Do not share shoes with people
   If you sweat heavily, change socks
    regularly
   Wear shoes that have circulation
Athlete’s Foot is not a permanent skin
infection. It can be cured. However, once you
 have it, you are more likely to have it again.
