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.
Wearing contacts with pink eye can slow down the treatment process and increase the risk of transmission. If you wear contacts and are diagnosed with either viral or bacterial conjunctivitis, you should throw away the disposable lenses that you were wearing and the lens case. Nondisposable lenses should be disinfected overnight. You should not wear contacts again until the eye is white and there is no discharge. People taking antibiotics should wait for 24 hours after the antibiotics have been stopped before wearing contacts again. Also, it is important to know that people who wear contacts are at increased risk for some more serious conditions that also cause a red or pink eye.
