ATHLETES FOOT / TINEA PEDIS
General Info about Athlete's Foot

Text

The great renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci called the foot "a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art".

Athlete's foot is a misnomer. It does not describe the beauty of the foot nor describe the physical condition of the foot, it is merely the name given to the infection occurring on the foot. This infection is caused by a fungus and is now appropriately named as Tinea Pedis.

A friend had athlete's foot once and he treated it with an anti-fungal cream. I forgot what's the name. But it's very effective. He is now athlete's foot free.
