8. Swelling
Athlete’s foot usually affects only the outer layer of the skin and does not inflict any pain or harm around the surrounding areas. However, in some rare and extreme cases, patients who suffer from severe athlete’s foot experience discomfort and swelling of their feet. When this happens, know that there is a possibility that it has developed into a bacterial infection that is causing this negative reaction to your body.
Apply an antibacterial cream immediately and try doing hot compress on the affected area to lessen the swelling. If these won’t help in eliminating inflammation, consult your medical provider for more appropriate treatment.
