Dermatology for the practicing allergist: Tinea pedis and its complications
by Muhannad Al Hasan, S Matthew Fitzgerald, Mahnaz Saoudian, and Guha Krishnaswamy
Dermatophytic infection of the skin can manifest in different anatomical regions
of the body and have been accordingly named. Thus, tinea capitis affects the scalp,
tinea barbae- the face, tinea unguum- the nails, tinea manuum- the hands, and tinea cruris-
the groin area. Tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot, is a chronic fungal infection of
the feet and is the focus of this review. Tinea pedis is estimated to be the second most
common skin disease in the United States, behind acne, and up to 15% of the population
may manifest the disease. Tinea pedis presents as pruritic, erythematous, inflamed
regions on the feet that may be located on the sole (vesicular type) or lateral aspects
(moccasin type) of the foot and sometimes between the toes (interdigital type). Three main
genera of fungi may cause tinea pedis, Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum. Other,
nondermatophtye, fungi like Malassezia furfur, corynebacterium minutissimum, and Candida
species may also cause tinea pedis but fall outside the scope of this review. These
fungi may be spread from soil (geophilic), animals (zoophilic), or humans (anthropophilic)
as well as through contact with fomites.
