    Is it possible for a dog to get athletes foot from a person on his face?

     Probably not, but a dog can get a lot of various fungal/mite infections on it's face, many of which are contagious to humans.

    Yep, what Jennie said.  There's really no way of knowing with that small of a question -- atheltes foot IS a fungal infection, and it actually can cover a bunch of different varieties OF fungal infections.  But dogs are also very prone to various skin infections on the face that can be fungal, bacterial, and mite in origin (and others actually).

    How old is the dog?

    What does the problem look like?

    *Where* on the face is it?
