Most are quite red; there maybe flakey skin/craking skin or tiny blisters. Almost all itch to promote you to scratch and shed the infected skin or infect yourself at another site with the particles under your fingernails.

Many fungal infections will smell. The odour may or may not be unpleasent, sweet or bread like odours for example compared to "cheesey feet" smells.

Most fungal infections occur in places which are moist such as feet, groin and armpits. Although a few prefer drier locations. Keeping areas prone to damp dry is therefore important, talcum powder, clean socks/underwear after sports, not wearing the same pair of shoes every day of the week and good towel drying before dressing are general precautions.

There are many different types of fungi which can cause rashes and they are very infectious so very easily caught by sharing towles/changing rooms. A correct diagnosis will need either a pharmacist or doctor. Fungal infections are common and not a sign of poor hygiene/sexual promiscuity. There are many different treatments avalible over the counter at the pharmacy or in supermarkets. Over the counter treatments require good personal hygiene frequent washing and drying and application of a cream. Prescription treatments maybe in tablet form.
