It is a condition where skin in between the toes and the side of the foot is inflamed and infected with fungus, it is usually red raw with weepy slim and blisters. The medical name for Athletes food is Tinea Pedis, you could pick up this condition in locker rooms, gyms, swimming pools, communal showers esp. when walking barefoot. It can also spread directly from person to person. In the defence forces this condition is also known as Jungle Rot.
Signs and Symptoms: In the majority of cases the feet could be smelly or just dry skin but it can progress to burning and stinging if not treated and can sometimes be unbearable and affect the performance of an athlete. In more severe cases cracking with pain and itching between the toes with blisters. Nails could also get infected.

Is athlete’s foot contagious? Potentially yes, but some individuals are more susceptible than others. Especially people who sweat excessively and diabetics
Usual treatment: dry clean environment for the feet, antiperspirants are used, doctors also recommend bathing your feet in Barrows solution but it is advisable before starting any treatment to consult your doctor for diagnoses and treatment.

Home remedies: some shampoos, Epson salts, some people use diluted white vinegar but please do not try this or any other treatment without asking your doctor.

In more severe cases your doctor might advise local or oral anti fungals especially when nails are involved. Other complications include spreading to other areas of the body or to other people. Other natural remedies are Tea tree oil

Foods that can be good are: probiotic cultures, green leafy vegetables, nuts, avocadoes, salmon, ginger, asparagus, fresh mint and red wine in moderation.

Lifestyle changes such as mild exercise daily such as walking, mindfulness, counselling and swimming might help relieve pain. A combination of complementary treatments such as acupuncture, restoration of gut health, mindfulness, massage and careful use of essential oils can produce good results.
