  Tinea pedis may affect approximately 10% of the total population. Adult males have a higher prevalence of tinea pedis than females. Wearing occlusive shoes for extended periods predisposes patients to dermatophyte infections. Community facilities involving water are likely to increase the chances of infection, as tinea pedis rates are higher among those who use community baths, showers, and pools. […] A practice gap exists among clinicians in recognizing the risk factors and potential complications associated with tinea pedis. Although it’s a common condition, healthcare providers may not be fully aware of the heightened risks in individuals with diabetes and those wearing occlusive shoes. Additionally, there is a need for improved awareness about the progression of untreated tinea pedis, which can lead to severe complications such as cellulitis, pyoderma, and osteomyelitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Bridging this gap is crucial to ensure timely diagnosis, effective management, and the prevention of complications in patients with this fungal skin infection.

  Around 15% to 25% of people are likely to have athlete’s foot at any one time. The infection can spread to other parts of the body and to other people. […] Epidemiological studies have produced various estimates of the prevalence of athlete’s foot. Studies are usually conducted in populations of people who attend dermatology clinics, sports centres, or swimming pools, or who are in the military. UK estimates suggest that athlete’s foot is present in about 15% of the general population. Studies conducted in dermatology clinics found prevalences of 25% in Italy (722 people) and 27% in China (1014 people). A population-based study conducted in 1148 children in Israel found the prevalence among children to be 30%. […] We don’t know whether improving foot hygiene or changing footwear can help to cure athlete’s foot.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1091684-overview

  Tinea pedis is thought to be the world’s most common dermatophytosis. It has been estimated that as much as 3% of the world’s population may have tinea pedis at a given time. […] The prevalence of tinea pedis increases with age. Most cases occur after puberty; childhood tinea pedis is rare. Tinea pedis affects males more commonly than females. It has no known predilection for any racial or ethnic group.

• #4 Recognizing and Eradicating Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot)

  https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/recognizing-and-eradicating-tinea-pedis-athletes-foot

  The reported prevalence of tinea pedis is dependent on the sampling group chosen, but it is thought to be the most common fungal pathogen. In one survey, it was found to affect as many as one-quarter of those visiting a dermatology clinic for reasons unrelated to fungi, and it has been reported to be present in 70% of adults. Many patients do not know that they suffer from the condition, perhaps attributing their symptoms to other causes (e.g., dermatitis). […] Tinea pedis is more common in adults aged 15 to 40 years than other age groups, and it also prefers males over females. A major epidemiologic risk factor is use of communal bathing facilities, making those who use them prime targets. Shared bathtubs and showers are common in locker rooms, summer camps, college dormitories, municipal swimming pools, gyms, sports clubs, steam rooms, and boarding schools. The common name of the condition (athletes foot) reflects the general awareness that it occurs more frequently in such groups.

  Athlete’s foot is probably the most common dermatophyte infection in the World with up to 70% of the population having had this infection. […] Athlete’s foot is most common among adolescents and in individuals who wear occlusive shoes. Men are infected 24 times more often than women. The risk of getting athlete’s foot increases with age. Most cases occur after puberty. Infection is most common between the ages of 20 and 50 years. It is more common in the summer months. […] Athlete’s foot is very contagious and can be spread through direct and indirect contact: Direct contact – This involves skin-to-skin contact. For example, someone may become infected if they touch the affected area of your skin and do not wash their hands afterwards. Indirect contact – This is where the fungi can be passed on through contaminated objects such as towels, bed sheets and clothing.

  https://colab.ws/articles/10.1111%2Fj.1439-0507.1993.tb00685.x

  Studies on the prevalence of tinea pedis, a frequently encountered dermatophytic infection, have been conducted mostly in swimmers although people who regularly practise other types of physical activities may also have a high rate of clinical or subclinical infection. This investigation was undertaken to establish the rate of infection in marathon runners, and to determine the incidence of occult athlete’s foot disease in this population. Among samples obtained from 405 individuals, 22% were positive. The rate of infection was highest in the older age groups. The prevalence of infection was 24.2% in men and 6.1% in women. Occult athlete’s foot disease represented 48% of cases with a positive culture. Finally, routine sampling of both feet was confirmed necessary to adequately establish the rate of infection: 26.9% of cases with a positive culture would have been missed by unilateral sampling. […] In conclusion, we establish that marathon runners represent a population at risk for the occurrence of both clinical and subclinical tinea pedis infection.

  https://www.villagedermatologyhouston.com/tineapedis

  Tinea pedis, commonly known as athletes foot, is a superficial fungal infection of the skin on the foot. This condition, primarily caused by dermatophyte fungi, is widespread among adults and adolescents and presents frequently in warm, humid climates and in populations engaging in communal activities. […] The infection is usually acquired through direct contact with contaminated surfaces, often in moist environments such as locker rooms, pools, and communal showers, where the fungi thrive. […] The infection is notably rare in children before puberty, potentially due to differences in skin composition and exposure patterns. […] Tinea pedis is caused predominantly by dermatophytes, which are keratinophilic fungi from the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. […] Systematic reviews of randomized trials have demonstrated the efficacy of allylamines over azoles in achieving higher cure rates in tinea pedis, although the choice of agent may also depend on individual tolerance, cost, and availability.

  Research has also identified owning a pet as a risk factor for tinea pedis. In these cases, the pet carries fungal organisms (e.g., M canis) that are capable of existing on human tissues, and normal human-pet interactions allow transfer to the owner. Many owners deny that their pet is the cause, believing that an infected pet will carry visible evidence of infection, such as large spots where its fur is denuded. However, in most cases, the infected pet retains its fur, and owners remain unaware that their pets are carriers of these zoophilic organisms until they contract the infection from them.

  Athlete’s foot is probably the most common dermatophyte infection in the World with up to 70% of the population having had this infection. […] Athlete’s foot is most common among adolescents and in individuals who wear occlusive shoes. Men are infected 24 times more often than women. The risk of getting athlete’s foot increases with age. Most cases occur after puberty. Infection is most common between the ages of 20 and 50 years. It is more common in the summer months. […] Athlete’s foot is very contagious and can be spread through direct and indirect contact: Direct contact – This involves skin-to-skin contact. For example, someone may become infected if they touch the affected area of your skin and do not wash their hands afterwards. Indirect contact – This is where the fungi can be passed on through contaminated objects such as towels, bed sheets and clothing.

  https://medicalnewsbulletin.com/what-is-athletes-foot/

  Athletes foot is a fungal infection that tends to occur in the feet of people who visit public swimming pools, as well as people who regularly wear athletic shoes and sports equipment. In fact, runners are almost at a risk almost twice as high as the general population. Studies have also revealed that people with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of contracting the infection. […] Research has shown that about 70% of people will be infected with athletes foot at some point in their life. Due to the contagiousness of this disease, being a fungal infection, athletes foot can be considered a public health problem. […] Studies demonstrate that athletes foot is more commonly developed in post-pubescent adolescents, relative to younger children. In fact, incidences of athletes foot increase with age and are more frequent in adults aged 31 to 60. When looking at the demographics, the risk appears to be higher for men.

  Tinea pedis may affect approximately 10% of the total population. Adult males have a higher prevalence of tinea pedis than females. Wearing occlusive shoes for extended periods predisposes patients to dermatophyte infections. Community facilities involving water are likely to increase the chances of infection, as tinea pedis rates are higher among those who use community baths, showers, and pools. […] A practice gap exists among clinicians in recognizing the risk factors and potential complications associated with tinea pedis. Although it’s a common condition, healthcare providers may not be fully aware of the heightened risks in individuals with diabetes and those wearing occlusive shoes. Additionally, there is a need for improved awareness about the progression of untreated tinea pedis, which can lead to severe complications such as cellulitis, pyoderma, and osteomyelitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Bridging this gap is crucial to ensure timely diagnosis, effective management, and the prevention of complications in patients with this fungal skin infection.

  ATHLETE’S FOOT (TINEA PEDIS) Tinea pedis causes the skin on the feet – often between the toes – to become itchy, red, cracked, tender, and scaly. Sometimes it also causes blisters to form. People who have tinea pedis often also have the infection on the palms of their hands, in their nails, or on their groin. […] Unlike tinea capitis, tinea pedis responds to most topical antifungal treatments, many of which are available without a prescription. The cream/gel/lotion/powder is usually applied once or twice daily for four weeks. In severe or long-lasting cases, your health care provider may suggest an oral antifungal drug (which is available only by prescription). […] To improve comfort and reduce the chances of repeat infection, it is a good idea to use antifungal foot powders, both on the feet and in the shoes, and to wear open shoes when feasible, at least while the feet heal. Wearing shoes in areas of high fungal sources, such as pools, communal showers, and locker rooms, may also help to prevent repeat infection.

[…] There is evidence that continuing migrations and mass tourism contribute to the changing epidemiological trends. […] Tinea pedis, colloquially known as athletes foot, is the most common dermatophyte infection. […] Exposure to occlusive footwear, sweating and communal spaces are predisposing factors of tinea pedis. […] In recurrent cases of tinea, it is essential to identify any potential reservoir for dermatophytosis.

  Tinea pedis is a common fungal foot infection that is often associated with high rates of treatment failure or recurrence. […] It is estimated that approximately 70% of the population will be affected with tinea pedis at some point in their life. The prevalence of tinea pedis is highest among people aged 31 60 years, and it is more common in males than in females. […] People who are more at risk of tinea pedis include those who are immunocompromised, who sweat excessively (hyperhidrosis), and those who have poor peripheral circulation or diabetes. […] Patients should be advised to return for assessment if the initial treatment is unsuccessful or if they have frequent recurrences of tinea pedis. If this occurs, take a skin scraping for a fungal culture (even if one was done at the initial consultation) to confirm that the patient has tinea pedis. […] Complications from tinea pedis can include secondary bacterial infections; it is a common predisposing cause in cellulitis.

  Tinea pedis may affect approximately 10% of the total population. Adult males have a higher prevalence of tinea pedis than females. Wearing occlusive shoes for extended periods predisposes patients to dermatophyte infections. Community facilities involving water are likely to increase the chances of infection, as tinea pedis rates are higher among those who use community baths, showers, and pools. […] A practice gap exists among clinicians in recognizing the risk factors and potential complications associated with tinea pedis. Although it’s a common condition, healthcare providers may not be fully aware of the heightened risks in individuals with diabetes and those wearing occlusive shoes. Additionally, there is a need for improved awareness about the progression of untreated tinea pedis, which can lead to severe complications such as cellulitis, pyoderma, and osteomyelitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Bridging this gap is crucial to ensure timely diagnosis, effective management, and the prevention of complications in patients with this fungal skin infection.

  But frequenting public swimming pools comes with the risk of extremely unpleasant problem: athlete’s foot, a disease that is very common in professional swimmers. The fungi that cause this infection are particularly at home in the warm, humid conditions in indoor bathing areas and public showers, and can easily survive for several months in these environments. „One single infected person can inadvertently spread fungal spores all over the swimming pool,” explains Matteo Borsa, who is responsible for the Canesten family of products for skin and foot health at Bayer. „People walk barefoot through these spores which can then penetrate the skin.” […] The risk of infection is highest in places where people frequently walk barefoot, in other words in hotel rooms, fitness studios and public swimming pools. Pools are particularly high-risk areas because of the moisture. Left untreated, athlete’s foot can weaken the skin’s natural defense system to the extent that a Streptococcus infection develops, which manifests itself as erysipelas. This severe skin infection is associated with high fever and necessitates hospitalization.

  ATHLETE’S FOOT (TINEA PEDIS) Tinea pedis causes the skin on the feet – often between the toes – to become itchy, red, cracked, tender, and scaly. Sometimes it also causes blisters to form. People who have tinea pedis often also have the infection on the palms of their hands, in their nails, or on their groin. […] Unlike tinea capitis, tinea pedis responds to most topical antifungal treatments, many of which are available without a prescription. The cream/gel/lotion/powder is usually applied once or twice daily for four weeks. In severe or long-lasting cases, your health care provider may suggest an oral antifungal drug (which is available only by prescription). […] To improve comfort and reduce the chances of repeat infection, it is a good idea to use antifungal foot powders, both on the feet and in the shoes, and to wear open shoes when feasible, at least while the feet heal. Wearing shoes in areas of high fungal sources, such as pools, communal showers, and locker rooms, may also help to prevent repeat infection.
