An adolescent says her feet itch, sweat a lot, and have a foul odor. What condition does the nurse suspect?

Rationale: A. Candidiasis is a fungal infection typically found in warm, moist areas such as the mouth (thrush) or diaper area, not commonly the feet. B. Tinea corporis, or ringworm of the body, presents as circular lesions with clear centers and raised borders, typically on the trunk or limbs—not the feet. C. Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) is a common fungal infection of the feet, especially in adolescents. Itching, sweating, and foul odor are hallmark signs due to fungal overgrowth in moist areas. D. Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, flesh-colored bumps with central umbilication, but it is not associated with itching, sweating, or odor.
