Lakewood Township podiatry office
Athlete’s foot is a chronic infection that is caused by various types of fungus. It is a contagious condition that is spread where people go barefoot such as public swimming pools and public showers like ones at gyms. If you have athlete's foot, you should see a professional podiatrist at a
Lakewood Township podiatry office for diagnosis and treatment.
Symptoms of athlete’s foot typically include: red, cracked skin, water blisters on the soles of the feet between the toes that itch or burn. Athlete’s foot can affect the toenails (fungus toenails) which causes them to become discolored and thickened. If athlete’s foot is extremely contagious and if is left untreated, it can lead to a secondary bacterial infection, especially in diabetic patients and patients who have circulatory problems. Therefore, it’s very important to go to a quality Lakewood Township podiatry office as soon as you have symptoms for prompt diagnosis and treatment. The treatment for athlete’s foot typically involves removing the offending material and medicating the skin and toenails to alleviate inflammation, to reduce the rash, blister and affected toenails.
