What causes athlete's foot?
Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the foot caused usually by one of 3 different types of fungi. As it is not usually known which of these fungi has caused your athlete's foot, you need a treatment, such as Daktarin Aktiv cream or Daktarin Gold, which is effective against all the types of fungi that can cause athlete's foot.
When and how should I treat it?
You should treat athlete's foot as soon as you notice the first signs of infection. The skin often becomes inflamed and itchy with areas ofdead skin', moistness or blistering and cracking or peeling. It is important to treat the infected area quickly and thoroughly. Daktarin offers a range of anti-fungal sprays, creams and powders that can be used to treat athlete's foot.

How can I prevent re-infection?
Even if you've got rid of your athlete's foot, it is very easy to re-infect yourself. It is important to remember that the fungi that cause athlete's foot thrive in warm, moist conditions. Therefore, it is important to dry thoroughly after bathing, particularly between your toes. The fungi can live in your shoes, socks and on your towels if you don't change them regularly enough. You should wear good quality cotton socks that allow your feet to breath and make sure you wash them at 60 deg C to destroy fungal spores. Daktarin Aktiv spray powder can also be sprayed onto your feet, socks and in your shoes to help prevent re-infection.
