What is athlete's foot?
Athlete's foot is the result of a trichophyton fungus infection, and symptoms worsen in the summer time. Places on the body most prone to athlete's foot are damp, humid, and poorly ventilated areas, such as between the toes, but it can be found anywhere on the body including the head, face, back, chest, abdomen, or extremities.
The term for athlete's foot differs based on the body part. On feet, it is called "athlete's foot." On the head, "tinea capitis," on the body, "tinea corporis/ringworm," and on the genitals, "tinea inguinalis/jock itch."
How to treat athlete's foot
A lot of people suffer from athlete's foot, and treatment can take a long time. Those who wear shoes all day long must choose shoes that are well-ventilated, and choose socks carefully.
In addition to over-the-counter athlete's foot medication, oral medication is available for severe athlete's foot that has penetrated the nail, hair, or skin. If you don't see any improvement with over-the-counter medication, please consult a dermatologist.
For the treatment of athlete’s foot, apply an appropriate amount of Oronine H Ointment to the affected area after bathing. To ensure maximum effectiveness, apply Oronine H Ointment every day. Oronine H Ointment is not effective for the treatment of wet athlete’s foot.
