3. Flaky Skin
Along with dry skin, flaking of the skin is also a sign and symptom of athlete’s foot. It is a secondary adverse effect if dry skin is not treated. As your skin loses its natural moisture, it tends to dry up and crack.
If you notice that the skin of your foot starts to dry out, check for moisturizers that are loaded with essential oils that are safe and do not cause further irritation such as peppermint oil. This type of oil can ease itchiness, provide moisture, and combat foul-smelling odor that may be present when you have an athlete’s foot.
