- The Oxford English Dictionary documents written usage of the term in 1928, which seems to undercut the claim by W. F. Young, Inc. that the term "athlete's foot" was originated, rather than simply popularized, as part of an advertising campaign for Absorbine Jr. during the 1930s.[1]
- Athlete's foot was first reported in 1908 by Sabouraud and Arthur Whitfield.
- Tinea pedis became more popular in the US and United Kingdom because of the popularisation of occlusive footwear and the habit of wearing socks which retained moisture around the feet.[2]
