So super common athletes foot, it's a fungal infection typically of the interspaces between your toes because it stays moist, and it typically presents with burning, itching, and scaling of the skin.” -Dr. Raafae Hussain</li></ul><br/><p><br></p><p><br></p><ul><li>"People will have athlete’s foot for years and not realize that they have it because they don't feel the itching. We have to cure them of that thought process and say, no, that's athlete's foot until proven otherwise.” -Dr. Damien Dauphinee</li></ul><br/><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Top Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Topical Antifungals:</strong> Start treatment using topical antifungals like fungifoam that pull moisture off the foot while killing the fungus.</li><li><strong>Moisture Control:</strong> Employ methods for controlling foot moisture including moisture-absorbing shoe liners and antiperspirant products like Drysol.</li><li><strong>Oral Antifungals:</strong> For severe, recalcitrant cases, consider oral antifungals but be mindful of their potential side effects on the liver.</li><li><strong>Importance for Diabetics:</strong> Diabetic patients must pay attention to athlete's foot due to their higher risk of complications like foot ulcers and infections.</li><li><strong>Treating Shoes and Feet:</strong> Clean shoes thoroughly using products like Lysol and ensure they are dry before use to prevent re-infection.</li></ul><br/><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>Visit our website:<a href="https://thepoddoctors.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://thepoddoctors.com/</a></p>
