I seem to have an infection between my toes. I can’t go to the doctor right now. Is there any over-the-counter remedy?
Fungal infections between the toes, regularly known as athlete’s foot or tinea pedis, are resulted by dermatophytes, a type of fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments. The condition is infectious and can expand through direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces polluted the fungus, such as locker room floors or shared showers.
Common signals of fungal toe infections
Signs of a fungal infection between the toes can diverse, but typically include itching, burning, and stinging. The skin may become red, scaly, or cracked, and in some cases, blisters may form.
The area between the toes is particularly sensitive to these symptoms due to moisture buildup and lack of ventilation, which produces an ideal environment for fungal growth.
Causes and risk factors
Several factors can grow the risk of developing a fungal infection between the toes.
- Wearing damp socks or shoes, walking barefoot in public areas, having a weakened immune system
- Dealing with conditions such as diabetes.
- People who regularly participate in sports or physical activity are also at higher risk because of their increased likelihood of sweaty feet and minor skin lesions.
