Another form of ringworm, athlete’s foot, usually attacks the skin between the toes and under the toenails. If not treated promptly, it can be cause an itching rash on the other parts of the body. Athlete’s foot causes the skin to itch, blister, and crack and as a result leaves it vulnerable to more serious infections from other organisms. The disorder can be treated at home by gently removing the damaged skin, and after soaking the feet, thoroughly drying and dusting between the toes with medicated foot powder. Some of the powder should be sprinkled into shoes. If the condition continues, a fungicidal ointment can be applied in the morning and at the night. Persistent cases require the attention of a doctor.
