This is very dangerous since athlete's foot is spread very easily this way. Athlete's foot occurs often with athletes and people who participate in sports. The condition can be very miserable and cause redness and itching.

There are many foot powders available to treat athlete's foot. If these do not work, it is wise to see a doctor about the condition. A doctor can diagnose the symptoms quickly and choose the best treatment for the patient. Another common foot problem is plantar faciia, which is a soreness of the muscle that runs under the foot. This condition can also lead to fallen arches, which can be very painful.

This condition can also be treated by a number of methods. One method is to put inserts into the shoe to cushion the foot and relieve the pain. Other methods may include stretching the muscle with exercise or at the worst case, surgery. See a foot doctor to get the best diagnosis and determine the best possible treatment for your condition. Don't let this go to long as it can be very painful.
