9. Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Unluckily, feet are susceptible to fungal infections, causing itching, redness, and cracked skin, particularly in between toes. Dermatophytes, a type of fungi, thrive in warm, damp environments such as shower stalls, locker rooms, and pool decks.
10. Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent skin cancer in the U.S., originating in the upper basal cells of the skin. Although rarely metastasizing, BCC can be cured.
Sun exposure and frequent tanning bed use increase susceptibility to BCC. Typically found on the head, ears, nose, and neck, BCC lesions appear shiny, red, scaly, or as open sores. Treatment options include surgery, topical medications for smaller areas, and radiation for larger ones.
