What’s Behind Athlete’s Foot

27 July, 2009 (18:26) | Athletics Health Issue | By: Chino

What comes to your mind when you hear athlete’s foot? For me, I define athlete’s foot as a foot that is stinky. I only assume its meaning because I imagined what the foot of athletes is. So I arrived to the idea that having an athlete’s foot is having a stinky foot. But I am definitely wrong!

Athlete’s foot is a common infection in skin. It is called athlete’s foot because athletes are the ones who usually have this. But this is not exclusive only for athletes; anyone of us can have this especially those who often wear shoes and having wet feet.
