Two feet-one hand syndrome

• ... that two feet-one hand syndrome is the combination of two athlete's feet and fungus in one hand? Tinea manuus isolated to one hand often occurs in concert with tinea pedis on both feet and is referred to as "two feet-one hand syndrome"[1]
  • ALT1:... that a fungal infection in one hand combined with two athlete's feet is known as two feet-one hand syndrome?

• I'm not really a professional when it comes to mushrooms or fungi, and in particular the ones that may grow on someone's bodies, but IMHO what might be much more interesting is to explain how is it possible for the fungal infection to spread on both feet and one hand but not the other hand too (or why not one foot and two hands instead). All that I can say is that the article passes the new enough and long enough criteria and is 5x expanded. Can't say more. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 23:18, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you @Szmenderowiecki: for a good question. Very rare in two hands. It is generally felt that the hand that scratches the feet gets the infection, but some cases occur in the other hand. Why has to be 2 feet...IDK. Tinea manuum can also occur after scratching the groin. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:48, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

• Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:22, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Small question—is StatPearls a reliable source? It seems to be used a lot
• Neutral
  :
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - manuum usually developed in the hand used to scratch the feet or pick toenails should probably be rephrased somehow

Overall: @Whispyhistory: just a few adjustments and we're almost there—nice work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 19:01, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you @Theleekycauldron:. StatPearls is peer-reviewed and PubMed-indexed, frequently providing a better review than other sources. Where there is a reliable textbook published by a reputable publisher, I have used the textbook. The sentence you questioned is trimmed and rephrased.
