ATHLETE'S FOOT TREATMENT
What Is Athlete’s Foot?
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common and highly contagious fungal infection of the skin. It typically causes scaling, itching, flaking, and redness, most often between the toes and on the soles of the feet. Left untreated, the condition can worsen, leading to painful cracks in the skin and even secondary bacterial infections—commonly known as a super infection.
Causes of Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot is caused by fungi in the Trichophyton family, which thrive in warm, moist, and dark environments—making your shoes the perfect breeding ground. It’s often contracted in shared spaces like gym showers, locker rooms, and around public swimming pools, where going barefoot allows fungi to spread easily from person to person.

Shoe Sterilization Is Key
