Im still gonna beg to differ. I got athletes foot inbetween my toes, itched with the back of my heel, it appeared on the back of my heel, then in my sleep rubbed it on my knee, and then itched knee with fingers. If you have trouble shifting it, you can be prescribed a 2 week course of lamisil, which is sort of a life long protection thing I reckon, I havent had it for 13 yrs sice taking it.
Well said goodsillouette. Athleets foor is a fungus which will live anywhere warm and usually damp and it can spread. Follow goodsillouettes advice rugeleyboy and you wont go far wrong.
