A white pitted forefoot with a noticeable odor may be suffering from tinea pedis. Ringworm, also known as athlete’s foot or tinea pedis, is a disease caused by fungal infection of the skin of the feet. It is usually related to the feet being in a moist environment for a long period of time and wearing shoes made of non-breathable materials for a long period of time. Tinea pedis is easily caused by dermatophytes such as S. epidermidis, S. cerevisiae and Trichophyton rubrum, etc. Generally speaking, antifungal drugs such as miconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine, etc., can be used topically with salicylic acid ointment to help keratolysis. In addition, it is important to pay attention to changes in lifestyle habits, such as avoiding walking barefoot in public bathrooms, swimming pools, showers and other wet floors, keeping feet dry and wearing breathable shoes. It is recommended to visit the hospital and use medication under the guidance of the doctor.
