    Tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot, commonly affects the feet of adults and adolescents, manifesting as cracked, scaly skin between the toes or as small blisters. A potassium hydroxide preparation of skin scrapings can confirm the diagnosis by detecting fungal hyphae. Topical antifungal medications such as azoles, allylamines, and tolnaftate are used to treat the infection.
