Globally, up to 1.6 million people die each year as a result of various types of mycoses. Currently, many scientific studies focus on the best possible understanding of the aspects of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of invasive mycoses and effective methods to combat them. However, mycoses of the skin and its appendages remain a relatively less explored area. In some communities, superficial mycoses are a frequent problem as they affect nearly 70% of the population, an example of which is the athlete's foot. It involves the nails (onychomycosis) and skin (tinea pedis). It is mainly caused by keratin\u2010decomposing dermatophyte fungi. Less often, infections are caused by non\u2010dermatophyte moulds (<jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Scopulariopsis<\/jats:italic>) or yeasts. Several factors have been listed as having substantial influence on the development of dermatophytosis, including those related to climate, season, geographical region, as well as to demography, socioeconomic and cultural customs, professions or contact with animals. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge about aetiology, epidemiology, diagnostics and therapy of tinea pedis with a special focus to the role of podologic management in spreading, prevention and therapy of mycoses. The article presents up\u2010to\u2010date knowledge on the management of the patient from the diagnosis, treatment and skincare, to counselling on how to prevent fungal skin infections in the long term.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.13340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,19]],"date-time":"2021-06-19T05:32:02Z","timestamp":1624080722000},"page":"1140-1150","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Tinea
