If your symptoms persist even with good foot hygiene and wearing clean socks and dry shoes, consult a podiatrist.

Once we confirm that you have athlete’s foot, oral or topical antifungal medication will be prescribed. Antibiotics can help if the infection is bacterial rather than fungal.

Frequent foot bathing, drying thoroughly and applying foot powder to shoes and socks can help with recovery. Because athlete’s foot is so contagious, discourage transmission of the fungus by disinfecting home showers and tubs after each use.
