Who's At Risk
Athlete's foot may occur in people of all ages, of all races, and of both sexes. However, athlete's foot is more common in males than in females. Children rarely develop athlete's foot.

Some conditions make athlete's foot more likely to occur:
  • Living in warm, humid climates
  • Using public or community pools or showers
  • Wearing tight, non-ventilated footwear
  • Sweating profusely
  • Having diabetes or a weak immune system
