What is tinea pedis/athlete's foot?
Tinea is a fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, flaky, blistered, or broken skin, and it can even spread to your nails if left untreated.
Fungus can be spread in communal areas such as swimming pools and changing rooms, and it can even occur due to excessive sweating.
During warmer weather, fungi thrive in the warm, dark, moist environment created by your socks.
Remember:
Change your socks frequently.
Dry in-between your toes thoroughly.
When choosing socks, consider breathable fibres such as a higher cotton percentage or bamboo.
