Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis)
 |
|
Athlete's foot is a common condition in young people and adults. It is a fungal infection of the foot caused by bacteria on the skin which feed on dead skin cells and love warm, moist places. This condition is primarily a problem for people who wear tight-fitting trainers or don't dry their feet properly.
The condition is contagious and can be spread by direct skin-to-skin contact and indirectly through towels, shoes, clothing and floors. Luckily athlete's foot can be treated quickly and effectively. Antifungal products containing clotrimazole (Canesten AF), miconazole (Daktarin), zinc undecenoate (Mycota), terbinafine (Lamisil Once and Lamisil AT) and tolnaftate (Scholl) are most effective against athlete's foot. If odour is also a problem take a look at our foot odour products.
