Would athlete's foot be a skin disease?Or skin infection?

My friend has this feet problem where his skin peels and he has a real bad, hard to break smely feet. The odor has to go, and he said it irritates him. I am assuming that he has athlete's foot, now I may not know much medically but I do think I am correct, right? And how can he solve it and if there's any type of solution aanyway.

Hello, our co singer in a band has the same problem. He had a very very bad smell that you can't stay in his room everytime he took off his socks, specially if it's winter.Then he used the tawas crystal in his feet, he found out this site www.tawascrystal.com. He said it works and I proved it. His feet doesn't smell bad at all...Hope this will  help you...
Goodluck...

Hello,
From he information given it does indicate that your friend may indeed have tinea pedis (athlete's foot). Differential diagnosis includes pitted keratolysis. Athlete's foot is a very common condition which is arises due to a fungal infection from either contact with the fungus or contact with fungal skin (communal showers, pools, etc).

Treatment modes vary from topical medication through to herbal remedy's. In my experience the product which has the fastest results with the least amount of side effects is terbinafine (aka: Terbisil or Lamisil). This product is available at pharmacys without prescription.

Regards
