I guess you'd have: To call it athlete's nose then? All athlete's foot is is a fungus infection of the skin. Since fungi like dark warm, moist places (like inside a shoe), it's most common in those sorta places. It's possible to get a fungal infection anywhere, but not common on the nose. I'd sniff out a good dermatologist for this one.

By definition: No since athletes foot only occurs on the foot. However, a fungal infection can occur anywhere one has skin.....Fungus likes to live in dark, wet, moist areas and this is why it is more common on the foot. "jock itch" is another name with a specific anatomical location.
