Athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) is caused by a variety of fungi and can cause dry, itching, red, blistered skin on the feet. It is best treated with prescription medication to kill the fungus. However, there are a few things you can do at home to deal with this condition. 1. Keep your feet dry with fresh dry socks that are changed frequently if you experience significant sweating during the day. 2. Wear shower shoes if you use locker rooms at gyms or live in a dormitory setting (such as college students). 3. Spray all of your shoes out with lysol. 4. Use over the counter antifungal sprays or powders on the feet daily as a preventative measure.
If you feel you have this condition and need treatment, please call 708-763-0580 for an appointment.
