Extractions: TALKS ABOUT ATHLETE'S FOOT Information From The American Podiatric Medical Association Athlete's Foot Athlete's foot is a skin disease caused by a fungus, usually occurring between the toes. The fungus most commonly attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment which encourages fungus growth. The warmth and dampness of areas around swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms, are also breeding grounds for fungi. Because the infection was common among athletes who used these facilities frequently, the term "athlete's foot" became popular. Not all fungus conditions are athlete's foot. Other conditions, such as disturbances of the sweat mechanism, reaction to dyes or adhesives in shoes, eczema, and psoriasis, also may mimic athlete's foot. Symptoms The signs of athlete's foot, singly or combined, are drying skin, itching scaling, inflammation, and blisters. Blisters often lead to cracking of the skin. When blisters break, small raw areas of tissue are exposed, causing pain and swelling. Itching and burning may increase as the infection spreads.

Extractions: Overview Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a common, persistent infection of the foot caused by a dermatophyte, a microscopic fungus that lives on dead tissue of the hair, toenails, and outer skin layers. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments such as shoes, stockings, and the floors of public showers, locker rooms, and swimming pools. Athlete's foot is transmitted through contact with a cut or abrasion on the plantar surface (bottom) of the foot. In rare cases, the fungus is transmitted from infected animals to humans. Dermatophyte (skin) infections cause raised, circular pimples or blisters that resemble the lesions caused by ringworm. The infections are named after the part of the body they infect. Tinea pedis, therefore, refers to an infection of the feet.

Tinea corporis is a fungus infection of the skin on the body (corporis is the Latin word for body). If you have this infection, you may see small, red spots that grow into large rings almost anywhere on your arms, legs or chest. When a fungus grows in the moist, warm area of the groin, the rash is called tinea cruris. (Cruris comes from the Latin for leg.) The common name for this infection is "jock itch." Tinea cruris often occurs in men, especially if they often wear athletic equipment. Tinea capitis, which is usually called "ringworm," causes itchy, red areas, usually on the head (capitis comes from the Latin for head). The hair is destroyed, leaving bald patches. This tinea infection is most common in children. Tinea pedis is usually called "athlete's foot" (Pedis is a Latin word for foot). The fungus lives on the skin and breeds under warm, moist conditions. Athlete's foot is more common during hot weather and sweaty footwear is usually the culprit. Adult males suffer most often from this condition. The fungus most commonly attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment which encourages fungus growth.

But if the conditions are right for the fungus, it will multiply and become an infection. These fungi grow best in covered up areas of the body where dampness is easily maintained, which is why they pop up so often on our feet and groin. Recent articles: Are You Sexually Healthy?

Extractions: Print friendly Tell a friend Find subscription deals by Carol A. Turkington A common fungus infection between the toes in which the skin becomes itchy and sore, cracking and peeling away. Athlete's foot (also known as tinea pedis or foot ringworm) can be treated, but it can be tenacious and difficult to clear up completely. Athlete's foot is a very common condition of itchy, peeling skin on the feet. In fact, it's so common that most people will have at least one episode at least once in their lives. It's less often found in women and children under age 12. (Symptoms that look like athlete's foot in young children most probably are caused by some other skin condition). Because the fungi grow well in warm, damp areas, they flourish in and around swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms. Tinea pedis got its common name because the infection was common among athletes who often used these areas. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungal infection that most often affects the fourth and fifth toe webs.

Extractions: Saturday night, the goalposts came down at Wallace Wade Stadium. It wasn't like we were playing UNC, and it wasn't a completely lopsided score, but this was a big win for the Duke football team. It broke our losing streak. And I do mean streak - try fifteen games in a row. But last night, all that changed. It was a sight. I wasn't there for the victory (stupid me - I assumed we would lose, so I didn't go), but they tell me that all hell broke loose when the buzzer sounded. The students swarmed the field, and the baseball team tore down the goalposts and carried them all the way to the chapel lawn. That's the kind of spirit I've been waiting for. That's the Duke I chose to attend. Sports on campus are a huge issue for a number of reasons. First off, the fans are completely insane. Football isn't really a big draw, but people around here, including me, are already counting down to basketball season. Dick Vitale himself is making an appearance at Midnight Madness. And our soccer team's drawing a crowd too, though I can name plenty of girls who watch the soccer games for reasons other than school spirit. I have to confess, Jay Heaps (# 7) is a pretty good reason for me! Then there are the other sports here, ranging from lacrosse to tennis to skydiving. Practically anyone can get involved with a sport on any level. You can't attend this school and not be influenced by athletics in some way.
