> What is athlete’s foot - and how does it get its name?
It’s a type of ringworm, which itself is a fungal infection of the skin. Athlete’s foot is so-called because it very often occurs in athletes; damp socks and shoes (caused by sweat and the frequent use of communal showers and locker rooms) are the perfect breeding ground for dermatophytes, the fungus that causes ringworm. Symptoms of the infection include unpleasant blisters, itchiness, redness and a strong odour.
> What is the best way to treat athlete’s foot and ringworm in general?
Using an athlete’s foot cream or spray powder at the first sign of infection is the best way to treat the condition and prevent it from spreading. Products like Lamisil cream and Daktarin Aktiv spray powder work quickly to combat symptoms and eliminate the infection, allowing you to be pain-free once again.
> What happens if you don’t treat ringworm or athlete’s foot?
If left untreated, ringworm or athlete’s foot can lead to a fungal nail infection, which is more difficult and more time-consuming to treat.
