Treating athlete’s foot & prevention techniques
- When you have athlete’s foot, there are some clear dos and don’ts you should follow to ensure a full and speedy recovery.
- Do use your medication for the correct duration. Refer to the packaging for instructions on the length of treatment.
- Don’t stop using the antifungal medication just because the symptoms are gone.
- Do look for the best treatment for you. For example, if you feel that treatment disrupts your routine, consider using a product that is applied only once.
- Do inform yourself about athlete’s foot prevention and about happy, healthy feet.
- Do keep your feet dry – especially the spaces between your toes
- Do seek the help of a doctor if you have reoccurring infections, or one that does not respond to treatment.
- Don’t try to treat your athlete’s foot with a moisturiser: only an antifungal agent can treat it.
- Don’t forget: athlete’s foot is a common foot condition that millions of people face.
- Do treat both feet – in 80% of all cases, both feet are infected.
- Do remember that athlete’s foot can be treated.
