Tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the foot caused by Trichophyton rubrum. High temperature and humid environment and wearing closed footwear for a long time are its risk factors. No vitamin deficiency is directly related to it. Try supplements of vitamins D and E along with an antifungal as part of your treatment. See original
