What is Athlete's Foot?
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal infection of the feet, that can affect the skin and nails.
Causes?
- Direct contact with someone with active tinea pedis
- Thrives in warm, moist, damp conditions increasing the risk of infection in shower rooms, bathroom sand swimming pools
Risk Factors:
- Feet prone to perspiring
- Sharing socks, shoes or towel with someone with an active infection
- Keeping feet wet for long periods of time
- Walking barefoot in public areas - eg. swimming pool, gym changing rooms
Symptoms:
- Fissures or cracks in the skin between the toes
- Redness and itching between the toes
- Dry blistering on the feet
- Discoloured, brittle and thickened toenails
Treatment:
- Over the counter topical antifungal powders and creams - eg. Daktarin
- In severe cases, a GP may prescribe oral antifungal medication
If you feel you have a current fungal infection of the skin or nails, please contact the clinic and make a routine appointment for advice regarding treatment options
