Do You Suffer from Athlete's Foot?
This is a subtitle for your new post
Athletes’ foot, or tinea pedis is a condition where there is skin breakdown which allows fungus to enter the skin and cause an infection. Common symptoms seen by people with athletes’ feet are red, bumpy, itching peeling skin with occasional cracking and painful blisters leading to skin breakdown. Initial things people should do is to make sure they are properly changing out their shoes and socks, and then to routinely wash their feet to ensure that their skin is dry, especially in between the toes. If the skin does not improve over a one to two weeks, it is important for the patient to be seen and a proper antifungal prescribed, or further testing of the skin to ensure that there are no further issues. If this is something that is bothering you, do not hesitate to give our office a call and we will be happy to be of assistance.
