Symptoms of Athlete's foot

The symptoms of Athlete’s foot are a flaky, itchy, red rash between the toes. This can crack or become white and peal off, may blister and become very sore. The space between the 4th and 5th toes is the most commonly affected. Your feet may also smell unpleasant.

If untreated it can spread to other areas, like the toe nails and adjacent areas of the foot, causing it to be red, dry and itchy. A more serious secondary bacterial infection may also develop.
