Athlete’s Foot/ Tinea Pedis

Tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete’s foot, is a fungal infection that affects the skin of the feet. It often appears as itching, redness, scaling, or peeling, especially between the toes or on the soles. In some cases, it can cause cracking of the skin or small blisters, leading to discomfort and an increased risk of infection. This condition thrives in warm, moist environments such as sweaty shoes, work boots, locker rooms, and public pools. Athlete’s Foot can spread if not properly treated. At Uxbridge Foot Clinic, we provide effective treatment options tailored to your needs. Treatment often includes topical antifungals, proper foot hygiene advice and prevention strategies to keep your feet healthy and infection-free.
