Athlete's Foot

Athlete's Foot is caused by a fungus, and it causes red, itchy, blistered, and scaling skin on the feet. Fugus invades the skin of the feet because of the warm, moist enviroment created by our shoes and socks. People that are active in sports or have sweaty feet are more likely to develop this condition. It is important to keep the feet clean and dry. Using an over the counter spray or powder and changing socks frequently are helpful strategies to reducing the occurence of athlete's foot. However, this condition often requires presciption medication. Please contact me at 708-763-0580 if you need treatment for this foot condition.
