ATHLETE’S FOOT

Athlete's foot is a common skin inflammation of the webs of the toes and soles of the feet. When caused by a fungus, athlete's foot may spread to the palms, groin, and body. Athlete's foot may cause foot itching, burning, pain, and scaling.

CALLUSES

Calluses (or callosity) is a toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard in response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation. Calluses are generally not harmful, but may sometimes lead to other problems, such as skin ulceration or infection.
