What is Tinea Pedis more commonly known as?

  1. Head lice

  2. Ringworm fungus of the body

  3. Ringworm fungus of the face

  4. Ringworm fungus of the foot

The correct answer is: Head lice

Tinea Pedis is more commonly known as Athlete's foot. This fungal infection affects the skin on the feet, usually between the toes but can also affect the soles and sides of the feet. It causes itching, redness, and cracking of the skin. Head lice (option A), Ringworm fungus of the body (option B), and Ringworm fungus of the face (option C) are different skin conditions caused by various fungi or parasites, so they are not the correct names for Tinea Pedis.
