Tinea pedis produces asexual spores called conidia. As the skin cellls slough off, the carry the conidia with them. The conidia are able to survive for years, waiting for a new foot to infect.

There are several types of ringworm, including tinea corporis (on the body), tinea capitis (on the scalp), tinea pedis (on the feet), and tinea cruris (on the groin). They can be distinguished by their location on the body, appearance of the rash, and symptoms such as itching and redness. Consulting a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended.

Ringworm is a fungal infection. You come in contact with the spores and if you have a weak spot in your skin, the fungus will start to grow there. They grow in a circle, which is why it's called ringworm.
Dermatophytes are fungi that reproduce asexually, primarily through the formation of spores called conidia. This asexual mode of reproduction allows them to spread and infect the skin, causing conditions like tinea corporis (ringworm).
scientific name=tinea pedis caused by dermatophytes
The difference between Tinea pedis and Tinea cruris is that pedis occurs on the foot while cruris occure on the groin and the similarity is that they are both fugal infection. :)
