ATHLETE'S FOOT Why is this fungus called athlete's foot? Perhaps because it may be picked up

in locker room showers and floors. Also, a sweaty, damp foot in a dark shoe offers the warm, moist climate in which fungi like to grow. This type of dermatophyte infection is characterized by burning, itching, oozing, and peeling skin. Most often, the fungus needs a crack or split in the skin in which to enter. A common site is between the fourth and fifth toes. To protect against this fungus, keep your feet clean and dry, minimize walking barefoot in public places, and wear vented shoes and/or absorbent socks when you know your feet are likely to get sweaty.

In addition to treating athlete's foot and other fungal infections, correcting your current foot problems, and relieving pain and other symptoms, your podia- trist can provide tips to help you avoid foot trouble down the road. There's lots you can do to make sure your feet stand up to years of wear and tear. Begin with a call to our office at 234-5571. We are conveniently located at Rice Medical Center, where we have appointments on Tuesdays.

• P.S. Some cases of athlete's foot are very stubborn and hard to cure. A secondary bacterial infection may develop in the open skin caused by the fungal infection. Your podiatrist can help.
