Article Excerpts about Athlete's foot
Athlete's foot is a fungus that causes redness and cracking of
the skin. It is itchy. The cracks between the toes allow germs to get
under the skin. If blood sugar is high, the sugar feeds the germs and
makes the infection worse. The infection can spread to the toenails and
make them thick, yellow, and hard to cut. (Source: excerpt from Keep Your Feet and Skin Healthy: NIDDK)
