Athlete's foot is a common skin condition that occurs as a result of a bacterial infection.
In older people, E. pedunculata, which is caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum or T. interdigitale, is more common. Epidermoid fungal spores can be transmitted through household items and are more common in people who visit bathhouses or other places with high air humidity, where sweat is released and dead skin and hair cells are exfoliated.
At first glance, epidermophytosis in women and men may not seem serious, but it is better to treat it in a timely manner. It cannot always be recognized immediately, so over time the manifestation of the disease intensifies and its treatment becomes more complicated. There are several causes of the disease that have similar symptoms, so treatment of epidermotia of the legs should be carried out under the supervision of specialists.
