Athletes Foot Treatment

Many over-the-counter antifungal medications can be applied to the affected area for athletes foot treatment.  These creams should be used sparingly but regularly, at least once a day. An application the size of a chocolate chip should be adequate to cover the entire bottom of your foot. It is important to keep your feet clean and dry. Wear clean absorbent socks made of natural fibers, such as cotton, and change them during the day if your feet become moist or sweaty.

Suggestions for athletes foot treatment

Always keep your feet dry. Use hair dryer to dry your feet rather than towels. Use some antiperspirant to keep your toe fingers dry. Use antifungal powder rather than antifungal cream. Use cotton socks. Clean your shoes from inside using a paper or a cotton cloth. Use only natural fiber footwear. Use mild soaps and avoid deodorant soap.

To avoid passing the infection on you should not share  towels with anyone else.

Wear socks made of cotton or wool, and change them at least twice a day or when they have become damp.
