Tinea pedis (ringworm of the feet, athlete’s foot) is the most common dermatophyte infection in the developed world. Three main factors constitute the basis of any tinea pedis infection; warmth, moisture and friction. Tinea pedis does not affect barefoot people. Shoes, in particular plastic and occluded, create a milieu for dermatophytes to prosper. Tinea pedis is most often caused by anthropophilic subspecies of Trichophyton; T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes (interdigital). These agents can be transmitted directly from person to person as well as by the scales harbouring the fungus shed on a carpeted floor or in shared shoes.Tinea pedis may present in several clinical forms
