Infection???

Hello,

Well, for starters, thank you for taking the time to read my posting.

A few weeks ago I noticed that the soles of my feet were dry & that the skin was cracking (as if the bare foot had been dragged across a rough surface...which was not the case). I bought moisturizer so as to soften the skin, yet the rough skin exterior persisted. Then came the itching & burning sensation (feet).

I later also noticed a discoloration of some of my toe nails.

Is this Athlete's Foot? (something I nerver had before & I am baffled as to how I got it in the first place)


I thank you in advance for all of your help and understanding.

Ben

It certainly sounds like you've picked up a fungus of some type. I would maybe get some athletes foot spray or cream and maybe some anti fungal for your nails. If that doesn't work, I'd bring it up to your doc.

Hope this helps,
Good Luck
