Athletes Foot

Athlete’s foot is a fungal condition that can cause a great deal of discomfort as it develops, leaving skin dry, cracked, and irritated.

If left untreated, athletes foot may begin to spread, which can lead to fungal nail infections. This can cause wider problems, such as the loss of a nail, due to the damage the infection causes. As the infection worsens, it may cause a severe scratch reflex, which causes it to spread and further crack the skin. This also increases the risk of bacterial infection.

Because of the wider risks that can develop from even an initially mild case of athlete’s foot, the right preventative measures are helpful to ensure you can avoid an outbreak at all times. But even if you do end up with a case of athlete’s foot, Chemist-4-U stocks a wide range of preventative and curative treatments to keep your feet protected in different situations, and ensure they stay at full health throughout the year.
