NEED ANSWERED ASAP. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
A friend calls you with questions about her teenage son. She states that the skin on his feet is cracked, flaky, and red, especially between and around his toes. He complains of itching, stinging, and burning, and two of his toenails are soft and yellowish.
Based on this description, what disorder do you suspect he may have? (Your friend also remembered that her son was playing with a stray cat recently, and she wonders if he caught ringworm from the cat.) What is your best response and why?

Answer: Based on the information provided, It does sound like a ringworm infection, but I never read anything about a ring-shaped rash or any raising on the foot. It more or less sounds like a mixture of both Ringworm, Toe Fungal, and Atropic Dermatitis. In my opinion I would classify it as a Ringworm Infection only if the child had direct contact with his/her feet after making contact with the cat. it's more of a 50/50 on how the child contracted this medical issue because, as I've read, It could be both Ringworm and Atropic Dermatitis. I can't exactly say it's Ringworm though due to nothing being mentioned about a Ring-shaped rash or and swelling/raising of the rash site.
