Athlete’s Foot

Why wait to see the GP when you can get expert advice and treatment for Athlete’s foot from our pharmacists? At The Health Dispensary and Neath Pharmacy, you can receive FREE NHS treatment for Athlete’s foot and professional guidance if you are eligible.

Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet, especially between the toes. It causes itching, redness, and cracked skin and can spread to other body parts if left untreated. You can catch Athlete’s foot from contaminated surfaces, such as showers, changing rooms, and swimming pools.

Athlete’s foot can be uncomfortable and persistent, but our pharmacists are here to help. They can provide you with the correct treatment, including antifungal creams, powders, or oral medications, and offer personalized advice on foot care to help clear the infection and prevent recurrence. With professional guidance, you can achieve healthier, fungus-free feet.

In addition to professional treatment, you can take the following self-care measures to manage and prevent Athlete’s foot:

– Keep Feet Dry: Dry your feet thoroughly after washing, especially between the toes.

– Wear Breathable Shoes: Choose shoes made of breathable materials and avoid wearing the same pair daily.

– Use Antifungal Products: Apply antifungal powder or spray to your feet and shoes to prevent infection.

– Change Socks Daily: Wear clean, dry socks daily and change them if they become damp.

– Avoid Sharing: Do not share towels, socks, or shoes to prevent the spread of the infection.
