Treatment of Athlete’s foot
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection affecting the skin over the feet and between toes.
Most cases are mild and can be treated at home. The infection often responds well to antifungal therapy.
Initially only local ointments and creams containing antifungal agents may be prescribed.
If the infection is severe or recurs oral antifungal agents may be needed.
Untreated the infection spreads to toenails, palms of the hands etc. and may lead to complications such as secondary bacterial infection.
