Athlete's Foot is caused by a fungus. It generally appears between your toes and on the bottom of your feet. There can be itching, burning, cracking, and scaling in these areas. You can buy antifungal cream over the counter. It takes several weeks of use of the medicine to get rid of it. Even when the symptoms go away, keep putting the cream on for another 7-10 days. It also helps to change your socks twice a day and buy new shoes. If you frequent a public shower, such as one at a gym or health spa, wear shower shoes. A persistent case of Athlete's Foot may require a prescription medication.

Jock itch and athlete's foot are a similar fungus. I beat them contained in the JUNGLE (Belize) by listening to suggestion given me from a medic. merely comprehend that fungus can't stay even if it truly is kept moist by oil, any epidermis lotion or sunscreen will end it lifeless in its tracks. plant life, such as fungus, can't get air by oil and suffocate. supply this idea, powders dry out the exterior, which in turn cracks because of the dryness, which in turn delivers the fungus an area to strengthen interior the crack that the powders and moisture (from sweat) causes!!! This turns right into a cycle that powders and sprays count number on for you money. So, get some hand lotion or sunscreen, and also you'll be able to conquer this handily! strong success and keep you money.

Athlete's foot is basically just another term for a fungal infection that happens to be on the foot or between the toes. It is actually the same bacteria that can give you ringworm fungal infections in other areas of your body. A topical anti-fungal treatment is usually successful in getting rid of it (such as Desenex or Lotrimin).

Athlete's Foot is a fungus infection of the foot, especially between the toes, and places where the fungus can grow and develop. It is easily killed with several different kinds of medicines, which do not require a prescription. Go to a pharmacy, and ask the pharmacist; he / she can help you.

athlete's foot is a fungal infection. It is marked by peeling skin. There are over-the-counter fungicides for it as well as stronger perscriptions. Make sure your feet can breath in your shoes, and try not to wear the same shoes two days in a row.

It is a fungus on the soles of the feet and between the toes, often spread in locker rooms. It is unsightly, and can be very painful. Wearing shower clogs, drying feet carefully after showers, and clean white socks help to prevent the infection; if necessary, over-the-counter anti-fungal powder/creme can be used.

Because most athletes shower after practice without shower shoes and it spreads easily in the warm wet conditions.

It is a fungus you get on your feet usually for keeping them wet, it gives a bad odor and itches a lot, it is very contagious, the best thing is to use an antifungus medication, dry your feet very well and don't use plastic shoes. Dont´t walk bare feeted.
