signs a disease
Three different forms of athlete's foot can be distinguished, which manifest themselves through some different symptoms:
• The inter-digital form: It usually begins with redness and Schupp revisions between the toes, which may be accompanied by deep, painful skin cracks . On the sides of the toes are often formed small vesicles.
• The squamous-hyperkeratotic form: This form of fungal infection spreads to the soles of the feet, starting slowly on the sides of feet and the instep of (moccasin mycosis). First, the skin is easily ignited and it peels. An excessive keratinization of the skin and cracks can be added in due course. Particularly common is this form of athlete's foot in people with diabetes. • The
vesikulös-Dyshidrotic form: At the bottom edge and soles are formed in this form first bubbles. Because in these places usually a thicker horny layer is burst the bubble does not, but dry up. Affected are then often plagued by feelings of tension and itching.

In some cases, it helps to disinfect shoes, socks, towels and other items if it is likely that it spread the pathogen.
course of infection
If athlete's foot is not recognized or treated, it can persist for years and will extend over the foot. The additional settlement of bacteria leads to unpleasant odor. The squamous-hyperkeratotic form is often mistaken for dry skin, which is why the fungus is left untreated.
