Locker room fungus
Athlete's foot is a fungal skin infection affecting the feet, especially between the toes.
It causes itching, burning, cracking, and peeling.
The name reflects its prevalence among athletes, whose sweaty feet in shared locker rooms create ideal conditions: I picked up athlete's foot at the gym.
Also spelled athlete's foot.
