Athlete’s Foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common fungal infection that primarily affects the skin on the feet. Typically characterized by itchy, red, and cracked skin, the condition can spread to the toenails and hands if left untreated. It’s named “Athlete’s Foot” due to its prevalence among athletes, who often use communal showers and locker rooms where the fungus thrives. However, it can affect anyone, as it’s highly contagious and can be contracted by direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces contaminated with the fungus.
The primary treatment for Athlete’s Foot involves the use of topical antifungal medications, which come in various forms such as creams, lotions, sprays, and powders.

Research has shown that teledermatology is generally as effective as in-person dermatology care for many skin conditions. However, there may be some limitations to what can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, and some patients may still require in-person care for more complex or severe conditions.
