Before you run away from me the next
time you see me, I just wanted to state the fact I do NOT have a fungus living
at the bottom of my feet...
I hope…

So as you can see from the title,
these pictures show a fungus residing at the foot of the victim.
Now this fungus usually comes in
contact in swimming pools, public showers, lockers, and even wet towels, thus
giving it its name: Athlete's foot.

Now this you see here is a common
skin inflammation which has a possibility of spreading to the groin, palm,
and other parts of the body. If you do get the athlete's foot sometime in
your life, please know there are anti fungal medications out there :).
*However* there is a
chance that unless technology improves this medication, the fungus will not go
away. The athlete's foot you see above is really my dads and his didn't go away
even after medications so be aware 0-0

Fungi grow best in areas that are
warm and moist in which case is usually between the toes.
The two most common fungi that cause
the athlete's foot are the Trichophyton mentagrophytes (which causes
"toe web" or blister infections) and Tricophyton rubrum (which brings
"Moccasin type infections which brings a scaly type of skin at the bottom
of your foot).
