Figure 1.

Interdigital tinea pedis affecting the space between the third and fourth digits. Tinea infections between the toes are common due to high moisture content and occlusion and often present with itching, burning, and/or malodor. This figure shows a man with dry-type tinea pedis in the third interspace. (Photograph kindly provided by Dr. Stuart Leicht, Division of Dermatology, East Tennessee State University).
