Is athlete'ss foot contagious? if so, how is it spread?

Athletes foot: Athletes foot is contagious. It can be spread through locker room floors, pool decks, bathtubs, carpeting, and anything you can think of. That is why you should treat the condition. If over the counter creams don't solve the problem, visit your podiatrist.
