Red itchy rashes of the skin on the bottom of the feet or between the toes is known as?

1. Eczema

2. Psoriasis

3. Athlete's foot

4. Tinea pedis

The correct answer is: Tinea pedis

Red itchy rashes on the bottom of the feet or between the toes is a common symptom of a fungal infection known as Tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot. Eczema and psoriasis can also cause similar red itchy rashes on the skin, but they are not specific to the feet or toes. It is important to note that athlete's foot is caused by a fungal infection, and not by participating in sports or being an athlete. This misconception may lead some people to choose option C, athlete's foot, as being incorrect. However, Tinea pedis is the scientific name for this condition and is the most accurate answer.
