A member asked:

Can your foot supposed to be swollen when you have athletes foot?

No : Need to be evaluated. You may have cuts in between your toes that allow bacteria to get in and cause "cellulitis". This is a bacterial infection and you need antibiotics. Athletes foot alone will not cause swelling of feet. It is a skin infection.

Swelling: Normally it is not associated with athletes foot except for the most extreme cases.
