Questions people often ask
Can athlete's foot spread to toenails?
Yes. Fungal skin infection can be linked with fungal nail changes, so persistent symptoms are worth checking.
Why does athlete's foot keep returning?
Moist footwear, untreated shoes, reinfection or incomplete treatment can all contribute.
