The foot of Eden

He had an important game later that week and was beginning to worry. He noticed that not only was there a rash but it was inflamed and had an itching and burning sensation on his foot. 

He started thinking and began to realize that he repeatedly wears the same soccer socks throughout the day. 

Eden has been playing soccer since he was a young boy.

Eden is from Europe and traveled to the U.S. to play college soccer.

Eden started to notice a scaly rash growing between his toes. 

He asked his teammates if they have had any type of rash growing on their feet too. Everyone was responding "no".

Eden was able to play in the game later in the week. 

Eden scored a goal and they won the game!

Eden's athletic trainer, Rachel, told him that he needs to wash his feet twice a day and gently dry between the toes. On top of that Eden needed to apply an anti-fungal product to get rid of the fungi growing on his feet. 

Once Eden started treating his athletes foot his symptoms started to go away and his rash was healing. 

He talked to his athletic trainer and she took a look.

She then told Eden that he has athletes foot. The causes of getting it were wearing moist soccer socks throughout the day and not practicing good hygiene. 

Eden has moved away from his mom, the woman who reminds him of how important hygiene is. 

He practices every morning and then attends class throughout the day. 

By the next week, there was no rash or itching. Rachel took another look and said this is why we practice good hygiene! 

Eden's athletes foot was gone for the remainder of the season due to good hygiene and anti-fungal ointment. 

Eden lives ten minutes away from campus and does not have time to go home in between practice and class.  

He started to realize that his hygiene has not been the best since starting soccer season.
