Brief Answer:
Vitamin D3 supplement and foot infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
It seems you have developed Athlete's foot (otherwise known as ringworm of the foot)a common dermatophytic fungal infection of the skin ,related to your running programme and consequent foot wetting.
Hypervitaminosis D ( if at all occuring) does not make a person prone to infection.
