Mycota Powder is a treatment for athlete’s foot which targets the cause of infection while also stopping athlete’s foot from coming back. Simple to apply, just sprinkle the Mycota powder onto the affected area to treat infection and relieve symptoms.
What is athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot happens when fungi and bacteria that live on your skin are given the perfect environment in which to thrive, needing lots of warmth and moisture. When this happens, these fungi can infect your skin, giving you athlete’s foot.
How does Mycota Powder prevent and treat athlete’s foot?
Mycota Powder contains two active ingredients which can treat and prevent athlete’s foot, zinc undecylenate and undecylenic acid. These two ingredients have antifungal and antibacterial properties, meaning they kill the fungi and bacteria which cause athlete’s foot, treating the infection at its source.
