Athlete's Foot Treatment in Burlington
Itchy, peeling or cracked skin between the toes is often athlete's foot. We confirm the diagnosis and help you clear it and keep it from returning.
Understanding the condition
About athlete's foot
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection that thrives in warm, moist conditions such as sweaty shoes and shared change rooms. It commonly starts between the toes and can spread to the soles and toenails. Other skin conditions, including eczema and dermatitis, can look similar, so persistent or recurring cases benefit from professional assessment.
Common symptoms
- Itching or burning between the toes
- Peeling, cracking or white, soggy skin
- Dry, scaly skin across the sole
- Small blisters on the foot
- An unpleasant odour
Common causes
- Damp, enclosed footwear
- Walking barefoot in pools, gyms and change rooms
- Excessive sweating
- Sharing towels or footwear
- Reduced immunity or diabetes
How we treat it
Our approach at Tread Well
01
Assessment
We confirm whether the skin condition is fungal and check toenails for signs of spread.
02
Treatment plan
Appropriate topical treatment is recommended, with guidance on how long to continue after symptoms clear.
03
Prevention
Footwear rotation, moisture-wicking socks and hygiene advice help reduce reinfection and protect your nails.
