If untreated, skin blisters and cracks caused by Athlete`s foot can cause serious bacterial infections. The treatment of Athlete`s foot depends on the type and extent of the fungal infection, so it is important to consult with me before choosing a therapy.
Athlete`s foot can usually be treated with antifungal creams. Re-infection is common, so it is important to continue the therapy as prescribed, even if the fungus apparently goes away. Severe cases of Athlete`s foot may require foot soaks before applying anti-fungal creams. Severe infections that appear suddenly (acute) usually respond well to treatment. Toenail infections that can develop with athlete`s foot tend to be more difficult to cure than fungal skin infections.
