Athlete's foot treatment

Athlete's foot treatment

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin, and it rarely clears for good with a supermarket cream alone because the reservoir in shoes and nails goes untreated. We treat the skin, the nails if they are involved, and the environment.

What's Involved

• Accurate diagnosis — Distinguishing fungal infection from eczema, dyshidrosis, or bacterial infection.
• Prescription treatment — Topical or oral antifungals matched to how widespread the infection is.
• Reinfection control — Footwear, sock, and household guidance so it does not simply return.

When to Come In

• Itching and peeling between the toes — Especially in the fourth web space.
• Scaling on the sole — A dry, moccasin-pattern rash across the bottom of the foot.
• Cracks or blisters — Broken skin, which is an entry point for cellulitis.
