What are the symptoms of an athlete's foot?

Asked 4 years ago

Hi, I've come to the point where I loathe having to put shoes and socks on in the morning. My feet feel so sensitive and irritated, they burn and itch when they come into contact with any material, and no matter how much cream I use, they remain flaky. Could this be athlete's foot? What do I do?

Yes, it could be. 
If it's athletes' feet, expect to have dry, scaly, peeling skin on the bottom of the foot and between the toes.  You can also have burning or stinging sensations, itchy skin after contact with socks and shoes, and blisters. Inflammation of skin may also occur.
