Athlete's foot is a very common skin infection of the bottom of the feet caused by ringworm fungus. It is also called tinea pedis. The fungus that causes athlete's foot can be found on many locations, including floors in gyms, locker rooms, swimming pools and in socks and clothing. The fungus can also be spread directly from person to person or by contact with these objects. Most people acquire fungus on the feet from walking barefoot on areas where someone else with athlete's foot has walked.

Particular attention to prevention and prompt treatment should be paid by people with diabetes or immune disorders as athlete’s foot can lead to serious secondary infections or problems such as foot ulcers. In these cases, Athletic Foot & Toe Cream, Shoe Deodorizer and Roll-on Foot Deodorant helps to prevents sweating and has antifungal properties to assist with minor foot infections. It also reduces wetness and has the lubricating emollient which prevents chafing between the toes which can cause Athlete's Foot.
