'''Athlete's foot''' is a common [[infection]] caused by the tinea [[fungus]]. It is not serious. Symptoms include itching, burning and cracked, scaly skin between the [[toe]]s. Tinea grows best in damp, dark and warm places, which is why it often develops between the toes. It can spread to the toenails, as well, making them thick and crumbly.
