What is athlete’s foot?

Known as alipunga, athlete's foot is a fungal skin infection caused by fungi that thrive in warm and moist environments like changing rooms, showers and public pools. Walking barefoot in these places puts you at greater risk. Athlete’s foot usually occurs between your toes, but it can also affect the soles and sides of your feet.

Good to know! 

You don’t have to be an athlete to get infected and it’s not a matter of poor hygiene. Fungal skin infections may feel uncomfortable, but in most cases there’s nothing to worry about and they can be treated easily.

Common symptoms of skin fungus

  • Red rash or blisters​ 
  • Itching, burning or stinging
  • Flaked, cracked or scaly skin
  • Splitting, softening or whitening skin
  • Unpleasant odour
