What is Athlete's Foot?
Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection that affects the skin on your feet, despite its name, you don't have to be an athlete to get it. The medical term is tinea pedis, and it's caused by the same type of fungus that causes ringworm and jock itch. This pesky infection thrives in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, public showers, and swimming pools, but it can also develop from wearing sweaty shoes and socks for extended periods.
The fungus that causes athlete's foot loves to grow between your toes and on the soles of your feet where moisture gets trapped. What starts as a minor irritation can quickly spread and become a persistent, uncomfortable problem if not treated properly. Many people try over-the-counter treatments that provide temporary relief, but the infection often comes back because the underlying fungal problem wasn't completely eliminated.
Dr. Rudin sees many patients who've been battling recurring athlete's foot for months or even years. The key to successful treatment is not just clearing up the current infection, but also addressing the conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place and preventing it from coming back.
Common symptoms include:
- Itching, stinging, or burning sensation between toes
- Red, scaly, or peeling skin on feet
- Cracked skin, especially between toes
- Unpleasant foot odor that won't go away
When to see a podiatrist:
- Over-the-counter treatments haven't worked after 2 weeks
- The infection keeps coming back
- You have diabetes or circulation problems
- Signs of bacterial infection like pus or red streaking
Athlete's Foot Treatment Options
Dr. Rudin specializes in conservative, non-surgical treatments for athlete's foot:
In-Office Treatment
Dr. Rudin performs a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of the fungal infection. He may take skin samples for testing to identify the exact type of fungus and rule out other skin conditions that can look similar. For severe or resistant cases, he can prescribe stronger antifungal medications that aren't available over-the-counter, including oral medications when topical treatments aren't sufficient.
At-Home Care & Prevention
Successful athlete's foot treatment requires changing the environment that allows fungus to thrive. Dr. Rudin will teach you proper foot hygiene including daily washing and thorough drying, especially between toes. He'll recommend antifungal powders and sprays for your shoes, proper sock materials that wick moisture away, and how to disinfect shoes and socks to prevent reinfection. You'll also learn about protecting your feet in public areas like gym showers and pools.
Ongoing Management
Since athlete's foot tends to recur, especially in people prone to sweaty feet, Dr. Rudin focuses on long-term prevention strategies. This includes regular follow-up to ensure the infection is completely cleared, ongoing use of antifungal powders or sprays as needed, and lifestyle modifications to keep feet dry and healthy. For patients with recurring problems, he may recommend prescription-strength preventive treatments.
Dr. Rudin also offers in-office medication for treatment and management of athlete’s foot and fungal nails.
