TREATMENT
Athletes Foot
Athletes foot, caused by the Trichophyton fungus, is a common infection that results in foot discomfort. It typically presents as an itchy rash, redness, or peeling skin between the toes, and in some cases, small blisters. This condition thrives in warm, moist environments, making it prevalent among people who wear closed shoes for extended periods or those with excessive foot sweating.
How does athlete’s foot treatment work?
Athletes foot treatment at Avané Clinic involves a comprehensive approach. Our dermatologists will conduct a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. Depending on the severity, treatment may include topical antifungal creams, lotions, powders, sprays, or surgical scrapping. In more severe cases, prescription-strength medications or oral antifungal pills may be necessary.
What to expect during athlete’s foot treatment?
During your consultation, our specialists will assess the affected areas and recommend the appropriate treatment. Initial treatments typically involve topical applications, and for persistent infections, stronger prescription medications might be required. Our dermatologists will also provide guidance on preventive measures to avoid future infections.
What are the results and benefits of athlete’s foot treatment?
Effective treatment of athlete’s foot alleviates symptoms such as itching, redness, and peeling skin. Patients can expect relief from discomfort and a reduction in the risk of infection spread. Successful treatment also helps in preventing recurrence, ensuring long-term foot health.
