Tinea Pedis (or Athlete’s Foot) is a common but contagious fungal foot infection that’s important to treat.


HOW DO YOU GET TINEA PEDIS?
The fungi that causes tinea pedis (or Athlete’s Foot) like to live in warm damp environments. It is most often found between the toes. One or both feet may be affected.

A common way of getting tinea is from public changing rooms, showers or swimming pools. Fungus thrives in these warm, damp environments, and if it latches onto your skin, it can continue to multiply.

COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF TINEA PEDIS:
  • Red or white lesions, with areas of peeling, cracking and scaling on the skin
  • Burning, itching and stinging; skin cracks may be painful.

TREATING TINEA PEDIS
Tinea Pedis can last for a long time and may come back if it’s not treated properly, so early action is important.  In the past treating tinea pedis has been a repetitive, daily chore, with most treatments needing to be applied for some time before they
take effect.
