Under certain conditions the growth of the fungi accelerates and results in the uncomfortable symptoms we know as Athletes Foot.Damp, warm, cramped conditions such as inside shoes and socks are the perfect environment for the start of this problem. It often starts between the toes with itching and redness then develops to scaling and peeling as it worsens. Tiny blisters may also form along the sides and soles of the feet. If the affected area becomes swollen it is probably best to consult a medical professional as the problem may have become a bacterial infection (rather than the fungal infection it may have started out as).
