Athlete’s foot is a chronic fungal infection generally found between the toes. The skin is white, peeling and cracked and sometimes becomes itchy, red and infected. If the condition persists, consult a professional who will probably prescribe antifungal medication. Keeping the feet clean and dry, wearing clean, roomy cotton socks, changed daily, and alternating shoes every other day are all helpful.
