Tinea pedis is the term used for a dermatophyte infection of the soles of the feet and the interdigital spaces. Tinea pedis is most commonly caused by Trichophyton rubrum, a dermatophyte initially endemic only to a small region of Southeast Asia and in parts of Africa and Australia.he interdigital type of tinea pedis is usually caused by T rubrum. It is more pruritic in hot, humid environments. Other possible causative organisms in tinea pedis include T mentagrophytes var interdigitale and E floccosum. Hyperhidrosis is a risk factor for infection.
If there's a contact lens in your eye when you're sleeping, then the contact lens acts as a barrier between the closed eyelid and the cornea, and it's fairly tight over the surface of the cornea, Taylor tells HuffPost.
Millions of people wear contact lenses safely every day. But there is a risk of getting an eye infection from them. Keratitis is the most common infection from wearing contact lenses. It is when the corneaâthe clear, front window of the eye â becomes infected. In some cases, it can scar the cornea, affecting your vision. If the cornea is severely scarred, a cornea transplant may be needed to have clear vision again.
