What is athlete’s foot?

It’s a fungal skin infection caused by fungi that thrive in warm and moist environments like changing rooms, showers and public pools. Walking barefoot in these places puts you at greater risk. Athlete’s foot usually occurs between your toes, but it can also affect the soles and sides of your feet.

Good to know:

You don’t have to be an athlete to get infected and it’s not a matter of poor hygiene. Fungal skin infections may feel uncomfortable, but in most cases there’s nothing to worry about and they can be treated easily.

Common symptoms of skin fungus

  • Red rash or blisters

  • Itching, burning or stinging

  • Flaked, cracked or scaly skin

  • Splitting, softening or whitening skin

  • Unpleasant odour

Frequently asked questions
about Athlete’s Foot

    If I ignore it, will it go away on its own?

    Although the symptoms might be mild at first, if left untreated, athlete's foot can progress into a severe infection with more painful symptoms or can even spread into your nail. Fortunately, treatment is easy. Head to your pharmacy at the first appearance of symptoms.

    My Athlete's Foot has become itchy and red, what do I do?

    Try an anti-fungal AND anti-inflammatory cream like Canesten Plus first! It contains clotrimazole to treat the root cause of the fungal infection and hydrocortisone which quickly reduces the swelling, itching and redness. The maximum use is 7 days so you need to continue treatment with an antifungal cream like Canesten Clotrimazole Athlete's Foot Cream to avoid recurrence. Remember to continue anti-fungal treatment for 2 weeks after symptoms have resolved.

    Is Athlete's Foot contagious?

    Athlete's foot is highly contagious and easily spread. To help avoid cross infection to family members and other areas of your body, wash your hands after applying treatment to prevent the fungus from spreading. We also recommend using Canesten Hygiene Laundry Rinse to help ensure that the bacteria & fungi that cause conditions like Athlete's Foot, Fungal Nappy Rash & Thrush don't find their way into your laundry.

    How do I prevent athlete's foot in the future?

    Athlete's Foot got its name because the fungus that causes it likes to hang out in places that athletes frequent, such as showers, swimming pools and locker rooms. However, anyone who is exposed to the fungus can become infected, whether you classify yourself as an athlete or not! Some useful tips for avoiding athlete's foot include:

    • After washing, dry the skin thoroughly, particularly between the toes
    • Expose the feet to air as much as possible
    • Wear cotton socks instead of synthetics
    • Wear thongs around swimming pools, locker rooms and other communal areas

     

    Can Athlete's Foot affect my toenails?

    If left untreated, athlete's foot can spread into your nail. This can cause a fungal nail infection, resulting in your nail becoming discoloured and thick and start to deteriorate and crumble.
