Theres yellow stuff in my socks is it a foot fungus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically no: Foot fungus (aka athelete's foot) typically will present as a rash that is scaly and itch. Yellow discharge is typically related to pus and will indicate some kind of infection. Hard to know for sure without examining - you should consider seeing a foot specialist.
