Athlete’s Foot (Foot Fungus)
- The athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection.
- It is called Athlete’s foot since it is commonly seen in athletes.
- Walking barefoot in public places such as locker rooms can cause this infection. This condition is contagious and is sometimes hard to cure.
- This is especially true if the affected person suffers from conditions that weaken the immune system.
- If you have dry, itchy skin on the bottom of your foot, you might have Athlete’s foot.
- Athlete’s Foot Home Remedies. (This link provides a list of suggested home remedies that might improve or even eradicate athlete’s foot)
Dry Cracked Skin
- Skin usually relies on oil-producing glands (sebaceous glands) as a source of moisture.
- However, the skin of the feet relies on sweat glands (eccrine and apocrine glands) and therefore is more prone to dryness.

Foot Psoriasis :
- Foot psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by the rapid multiplication of skin cells on the foot and other areas of the body.
- As a result, skin cells build up on the feet and cause the formation of scales and thick white or silver patches that are dry, itchy, and painful.
- Unlike athlete’s foot, fungi do not cause psoriasis.
- Psoriasis is a genetic condition that is not contagious.
Toenail Psoriasis
- Same as foot psoriasis, toenail psoriasis is a genetically inherited autoimmune disease that causes the overproduction of cells and thickening of tissue.
- Toenail psoriasis is not as common as fingernail psoriasis.
- Fungal infection usually causes thickening of toenails, but psoriasis cannot be completely ruled out as a cause of toenail thickening and pain.
