Best Answer

Athlete's foot is caused by a fungal infection. It causes the skin to flake and makes it itchy. Athlete's foot is spread by the skin coming into contact with an infected area such as in an indoor swimming pool. It is also spread by using a towel that has been used by an infected person.
