Athlete’s Foot Treatment

Athlete’s foot, which is a fungal infection that usually begins between the toes, makes the skin of the feet itch, crack, and burn. Sores and blisters can also occur as an effect of the infection. Activity can worsen the infection, and the condition can spread to other parts of the body. Athlete’s foot can be spread through skin-to-skin contact or by walking barefoot on contaminated floors. Warm and wet environments, such as communal showers and pool decks, are the ideal breeding ground for the fungi that cause athlete’s foot. Despite its name, athlete’s foot can affect athletes and non-athletes alike.  

The best way to treat athlete’s foot is to first figure out its cause. EZCare Clinic practitioners can help patients evaluate the symptoms and figure out where the skin infection is coming from. Antifungal medication and keeping the feet dry is the best treatment for athlete’s foot.
