Itching

The athlete’s foot condition causes an itching sensation between the toenails and in the sole area of feet. The person strongly experiences the urge to scratch or pick the area on the feet. Sometimes, this itching sensation causes pain as well as discomfort in the affected area. Moreover, with the scratching feeling, there is also the appearance of hives or rashes due to all the scratching. The scratching is one of the apparent signs of developing an athlete’s foot, and the person experiences more itching when they take off their shoes. The person suffering from athlete’s foot must avoid picking on the toes and sole of the feet because it is contagious and spreads very quickly.
