How do i treat my athletes foot?

Having Fun Gal?: If you are sure that athletes foot is what you have, head down to the drug store and pick up a topical antifungal medication. There are many brands to choose from, anyone will probably do fine. In severe cases, your doctor may need to prescribe an oral medication. You may have to treat your shoes to prevent further infections.

Medication: If you do have athletes foot it is a fungal infection that needs proper treatment so that it does not spread and heals. There are other potential diagnosis that you could have. I recommend being seen by a Podiatrist in person or virtually for further care.

Fungus Among Us: Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin. It is important to keep your feet (and shoes) clean and dry, since fungus loves to grow in warm, dark, moist places. For mild cases, OTC antifungal creams typically work well. For more severe cases, see your doctor.
