Athlete's Foot

Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection estimated to be experienced up to one-quarter of people at any one time. This contagious condition is caused by a variety of fungi called dermatophytes. Left untreated, it can spread through direct contact with the infection and contact with skin particles, for example, those left on the floor, towels, or in shoes. 

Symptoms of athlete’s foot include an itchy, scaly, red rash between the toes; small red blisters; dryness and scaling on the soles or side of the feet; ulcers or sores. Athlete’s foot is more likely to appear and thrive in moist, warm areas. Athlete’s foot should be treated immediately due to risk it will spread or contaminate others. It can usually be treated with over-the-counter medication, but in severe cases, it may be necessary to see a physician for prescription medication. 

Drug classes commonly used to treat athlete’s foot include plain topical corticosteroids, topical dermatological antifungals, systemic antifungals. Combination products, such as combinations of corticosteroids with antibacterials and combinations of corticosteroids with antifungals are also used.
