Shoes create a warm and humid environment that can be perfect for fungal growth. Eventually, this can become Athletes Foot, which is characterized by itchy, red skin that can become scaly or may even blister. Individuals can prevent the development of Athletes Foot by keeping their socks and shoes dry, by washing their feet with soap daily, and by wearing different pairs of shoes regularly. For severe cases, podiatrists can provide prescription-grade antifungal medications.
