Both Tinea pedis and Candida are types of fungal infections. Candida is a yeast-like fungus which can produce recurrent infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. The word Candida is from the Latin meaning dazzling white. Tinea is a general term for a group of related skin infections caused by different species of fungi. Tinea comes from the Latin meaning worm. Tinea pedis is athlete's foot, a condition in which the foot itches, is red and peeling, particularly between the toes.
