One of the main symptoms of Athlete’s foot is itchy white patches between your toes.
It can also cause sore and flaky patches on your feet.
The skin can look red, but this may be less noticeable on brown or black skin.
Sometimes the skin on your feet may become cracked or bleed.
Athlete’s foot can also affect your soles or sides of your feet. It sometimes causes fluid-filled blisters.
If it’s not treated, the infection can spread to your toenails and cause a fungal nail infection.
