Step-by-step explanation:

Athlete’s foot

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that affects the skin on your feet, often between your toes. Typical symptoms of athlete’s foot include:

itching, or a burning, stinging sensation between your toes or on the soles of your feet

skin that appears red, scaly, dry, or flaky

cracked or blistered skin

In some cases, the infection can also spread to other areas of your body. Examples include your nails, groin, or hands

Ringworm of the scalp

This fungal infection affects the skin of the scalp and the associated hair shafts. It’s most common in young children and needs to be treated with prescription oral medication as well as antifungal shampoo. The symptoms can include:

localized bald patches that may appear scaly or red

associated scaling and itching

associated tenderness or pain in the patches
