Fungi such as that causing athlete's foot (Tinea pedis), flourish in an evironment such as feet.  The foot has 2 characteristics fungi grow well in.  1. Dead skin and 2. a warm moist environment.  Some people are more prone to fungi foot infections do to their immune system.  Many of the over the counter medications work well but if it moves into toenails, it is more difficult to treat.  Prescription meds such as Lamisil are needed for this and need to be taken for 4-6 months in total to cure.

Breasts are not like feet. Their growth is not limited. Your breasts will grow and shrink all through your life, as you gain and lose weight, as you bear children and breastfeed, and as you grow old.

I have never heard of that. Maybe you should ask a podiatrist or endocrinologist about that. It seems weird to me.

School athletes are at risk for scalp Ringworm, Ringworm of the body, and foot Ringworm; there have been outbreaks among high school wrestling teams. Children with young pets are at increased risk for Ringworm of the body.\nRingworm can be treated with fungus-killing medicine. The medicine can be taken in tablet or liquid form by mouth or as a cream applied directly to the affected area.\nInfected persons should follow these steps to keep the infection from spreading:\n\nComplete treatment as instructed, even after symptoms disappear. \nDo not share towels, hats, clothing, or other personal items with others. \nMinimize close contact with others until treated. \nMake sure the person or animal that was the source of infection gets treated\n\nGo to your local drug store and see if they offer any over the counter products.

Just like some people like ice cream with nuts and some like it with a carmel ribbon, different foot fetishists like different things about feet.  Some guys like smelly feet with natural toe jam and sweat, some guys like highly clean manicured feet, some aren't picky.\n\nThe foot has a lot of nerve endings and is a sensitive little appendage, which can make foot fetishists useful for other people's enjoyment.\n\nHow can anyone specifically say why anything particularly turns them on?  It just does.  Go with it.  Bodies are good.

With athletes foot the problem is because its a fungus the spores live in your socks, shoes and carpets... basically anywhere your feet have been! So the best plan is to carry on treating it for at least 5 days after your symptoms have disappeared. Then switch to an antifungal powder which you can use on a regular basis to keep it at bay :-)

Athletes foot is caused by a fungus so once u kill the fungus it will be gone but u also have to treat all the shoes and socks that were worn while it was active.

Originally classified as plants, fungi are not at all plants, because they are heterotrophs (they do not fix their own carbon through photosynthesis but use the carbon fixed by other organisms). Indeed, fungi are now thought to be more closely related to animals than to plants, and are placed together with animals in the monophyletic group of opisthokonts. However, unlike animals, fungi absorb their food rather than ingest it, and their cells have cell walls surrounding them. For these reasons, these organisms are placed in their own kingdom, Fungi.\n\nThe Fungi are a monophyletic group, meaning all varieties of fungi come from a common ancestor. Mycologists (scientists who study fungi) believe they are monophyletic because they have chitin in their cell walls and are absorbtive heterotrophs, along with other shared characteristics.

well, you might get an infected foot, you might have a scared-for-life tissue and you also might have certain damages caused where your imune system isn't quite as affective
