Common Causes of Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot is caused by a specific type of fungus called tinea pedis that thrives in warm, moist environments. Common places for the fungus to grow include public showers, locker rooms, and around swimming pools, where bare feet are exposed to these surfaces. The infection is easily contracted and can spread quickly from person to person in such communal spaces.
Sweaty feet and tight shoes can further contribute to the development of athlete’s foot, as these conditions create the ideal environment for the fungus to grow. Once contracted, it’s essential to treat the infection promptly to avoid spread and reduce discomfort.
