Symptoms of Athlete’s Foot

Dec 8, 2015

By familiarizing yourself with the symptoms of athlete’s foot, you will know when it is time to see a dermatologist for treatment. Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is caused by fungus and is usually easy to self-diagnose. It is highly contagious, so it is best to know what the signs are and when to seek treatment from a dermatologist to avoid spreading.

Athlete’s foot presents itself with a red, itchy rash between toes and the sole of the foot. The most common symptoms are itching and burning. There may also be blisters in addition to redness. You may also notice peeling and cracking of the skin. Athlete’s foot can often be mistaken as dry skin or eczema since the symptoms are so similar.

As with any skin condition, it is best to see a dermatologist in Arlington Heights for treatment. Arlington Dermatology offers treatment options for all different types of skin conditions, including athlete’s foot and warts. To schedule an appointment, call [company-phone id=1].
