Article: There's no point in guessing about your foot ailment, so make an appointment with your physician and tell him/her your observations and suspicions. In some cases, your doctor may be able to diagnose a fungal infection simply by looking at your foot. However, to confirm the diagnosis (and rule out other conditions), he/she might take a skin sample, add a few drops of potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution and look at it under a microscope. The KOH dissolves skin, but leaves budding fungi intact, making it easy to see. Alternatively, your doctor may view your feet under black light from a Wood's light, which highlights the presence of fungal infections. Your doctor may also do a gram stain to see if there is an underlying bacterial infection. Your doctor may also take a blood test in order to rule out diabetes and other types of infections (bacterial and viral). Medical specialists who deal with skin problems are called dermatologists. A dermatologist is likely to have much more experience than your family physician in dealing with skin conditions, such as infections, rashes and other afflictions. A dermatologist is more likely to be able to do a skin biopsy and KOH preparation under a microscope in their office, so the results can be available in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days. If there is no sign of fungus, then the dermatologist needs to consider other skin conditions that cause a similar appearance such as psoriasis, contact dermatitis, eczema, bacterial infections, gout and venous insufficiency. Psoriasis can be distinguished by its characteristic silvery white scales, which are usually found in the folds of joints. A podiatrist is a foot specialist who also can confirm a diagnosis of athlete's foot and provide treatment. A podiatrist is a also a great source of information on what kinds of shoes and socks to wear to prevent fungal infections from reoccurring. Occlusive shoe materials, such as vinyl, rubber and plastic, don't allow for sufficient ventilation, which cause feet to remain warm and moist providing an excellent opportunity for the fungus to proliferate. Switch to shoes with leather insoles instead. Use cotton socks that absorb water from your feet. Try to avoid socks made with nylon or other synthetic materials. Try to change your socks every day. Wash them in hot water with baking soda to kill any fungus.

Article: Use a ruler or the straight edge of your protractor to trace a straight line segment of an appropriate length. This line segment will become the first side of your triangle, and each of the other sides will be just as long so make sure that it's the right size! to measure a 60 angle at one end. Measure out a new line segment that is equal in length to the first. Start it at one end of the original line segment, where you measured the 60 angle. Start from the vertex (the point) of the angle, and trace the straight edge of the protractor until you reach the next "point." Use the straight edge of your protractor to trace out the final side of the triangle. Connect the point at the end of the second line segment to the unattached end of the first line segment. You should now have an equilateral triangle.
