Foot athlete’s foot (medically known as tinea pedis) is a common skin infection caused by fungus. It is often transmitted through shared towels or shoes. In severe cases, it may lead to oozing and may also be accompanied by bacterial infections. The general treatment for athlete’s foot involves the use of topical antifungal medications for treatment. Common medications include clotrimazole cream, terbinafine cream or miconazole nitrate cream. Continuous application for 4-6 weeks generally leads to recovery. If there is oozing and bacterial infections present, antibiotics should be used concurrently during treatment.
