foot fungus

Itchy toe infection

Foot fungus is a fungal infection affecting the feet, most commonly athlete's foot, which causes itching, cracking, and peeling skin between the toes.

The warm, moist environment inside shoes creates ideal conditions for fungal growth.

Toenail fungus, causing thickened and discolored nails, is a related condition: I picked up foot fungus at the gym.
