I am going to gym frequently and over past 2-3 months, I develop skin infection on underside of my foot. I use neoprin powder and it becomes fine for some days. Then dead skin develops in those particular areas. Is it athletes foot as I read on internet? What is permanent cure?

Athlete's foot occurs when the tinea fungus grows on the feet. You can catch the fungus through direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces contaminated with the fungus. The fungus thrives in warm, moist environments and is commonly found in showers, on locker room floors and around swimming pools. Guidance on footwear shoes need to accommodate the shape of the foot and its function as it helps the body to move. Badly fitting or wrong shaped shoes can cause painful foot problems.
