Athlete's foot is an infectious disease caused by a fungus called dermatophyte that develops on the feet, and its official name is tinea pedis. If you experience symptoms such as "itchy soles of the feet, small blisters," or "itchy, white, swollen skin between the toes, and oozing" in the summer, you are more likely to have athlete's foot. Tinea can infect not only the feet, but also the groin, hair, nails, and hands.
