“Can kids get athletes foot?”

Athletes foot is a fungi usually between the toes and secondary to poor hygiene and excessive humidity. It is in the same family of illnesses like “ringworms”. It is pretty common in kids with active life styles. Keep the area clean and dry, use talcum powder regularly and over the counter antifungal medication like Lotrimin AF or Lamisil cream. Make sure to Lysol spray their shoes and perhaps putting them under the sun to make sure they dry completely. Hope this brief explanation helps.

Hello


Yes children can get athletes foot from irritation. I usually recommend comfortable shoes and fungal cream for treatment.

Very young children very rarely will get it, but a 12 yr old could have athletes foot

Yes, it is caused by fungus.
