Athlete’s Foot
As the name suggests, this foot skin condition often affects athletes, but can strike anyone. It’s also called tinea pedis and is a contagious foot fungus that can spread to the toenails and even the hands. It carries symptoms such as itching, burning, blistering, and even toenails that separate from the nail bed.
Being barefoot in locker rooms or having a minor skin or toenail injury are risk factors, it notes. While the condition isn’t considered too serious on its own, you should consult a medical professional if you have diabetes or a weakened immune system, it adds.
