Causes Athlete's foot occurs when a certain fungus grows on the skin of your feet. The same fungus may also grow on the heels, palms, and between the fingers. Athlete's foot is the most common type of tinea fungal infection. The fungus thrives in warm, moist areas. Your risk for getting athlete's foot increases if you: • Wear closed shoes, especially if they are plastic-lined • Keep your feet wet for long periods • Sweat a lot • Develop a minor skin or nail injury Athlete's foot is easily spread.

Vaginal yeast infection : Vaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina, most commonly due to the fungus Candida albicans. Causes Candida albicans is a common type of fungus.

Candida and the many other germs that normally live in the vagina keep each other in balance. However, sometimes the number of Candida albicans increases, leading to a yeast infection.

Antibiotics change the normal balance between germs in the vagina by decreasing the number of protective bacteria. • Pregnant • Obese • Have diabetes Symptoms • Abnormal vaginal discharge o Ranges from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge (like cottage cheese) • Pain with intercourse • Painful urination • Redness and swelling of the vulva • Vaginal and labial itching, burning Treatment Medications to treat vaginal yeast infections are available in either creams or suppositories.
