Athlete’s foot, in actuality, is a fungal infection of the feet. Treatment for Athlete’s foot typically involves the use of antifungal topical medications for external application. Concurrently, oral antifungal drugs such as terbinafine or fluconazole are commonly administered orally. If the fungal infection proves to be more persistent, and topical medication does not yield results, oral ketoconazole or griseofulvin may be prescribed. In addition, if the fungal infection is accompanied by bacterial infection, active treatment with antibiotics is required, such as application of miconazole cream or clotrimazole cream topically, and oral administration of ciprofloxacin for inflammation relief.
