Products Not Helping?
There are plenty of over-the-counter (OTC) topical antifungals on drugstore shelves, most of which promise more than they deliver. If you have especially thick nails and/or advanced signs of fungal infection (such as discoloration and texture changes), these OTC agents are unlikely to be beneficial no matter how long you use them.
You’ve probably tried oral medications too. While oral antifungals can often eliminate the fungus systemically, they are not right for everyone, either because of cost, side effects, or a personal aversion to pills.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Fungi called Dermatophytes live harmlessly on the skin. In a fungal infection these dermatophytes multiply if the conditions for them to thrive are just right, causing a huge increase in the incidence of dermatophytes. In fungal infections of the nail and skin the main dermatophytes involved are Trichophyton Rubrum and Trichophyton Interdigitale. Dermatophytes thrive in warm, dark, moist areas, which is why feet, shoes and socks are the perfect climate for them.
There are many factors that can increase your chances of developing a fungal infection, these include;
- Being male
- Increasing age
- Occlusive footwear
- Poor personal hygiene
- Repeated nail trauma
- Genetic predisposition
- Health conditions such as Diabetes, poor circulation, HIV infection and immunosuppression
On the skin, Athletes foot can look like;
- Itchy white patches between the toes
- Red, sore flaky patches on the feet
- Skin that may crack and bleed
- Small broken blisters
In the nails;
- Colour can change to brown, yellow, green and even black
- Texture can change becoming thicker and more brittle
- Often have a distinct musty smell
- Stripes and lines can appear
Podiatrists commonly diagnose fungal skin infections by assessing your symptoms and looking at the skin on your feet.
Nail fungal infections often require testing to confirm a diagnosis. We can test a sample of nail with 97% of accuracy.
It is important to get a confirmed diagnosis from a health professional. If you have a Diabetes or any condition affecting your immune system, it is essential you seek medical advice prior to treatment.

Prevention is easy;
- Dry your feet carefully after bathing, pay special attention to between the toes
- Change your socks daily- cotton or bamboo fibres are more breathable than synthetic materials
- Wear shoes made from natural materials
- Leave your shoes to dry out if they get damp
- Wear flipflops in shared areas such as swimming pools and gyms
- Don’t share towels, socks or shoes with anyone
