Here at the Wart Removal Clinic, we are specialists at treating a variety of foot skin problems. Below is a guide to althetes foot and the treatments we provide.
What is Athletes Foot?
Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection, and you don't have to be an athlete to get it. This annoying ailment occurs in boys and girls, men and women of all ages. Virtually unheard of in ancient Greece and Rome, when people went barefoot or wore sandals, athlete's foot is a by-product of a society that keeps its feet enclosed in shoes most of the time.
What causes Athletes Foot?
The various kinds of fungi that cause athlete's foot belong to a group called dermatophytes. The fungi thrive in closed, warm, moist environments and feed on keratin, a protein found in hair, nails, and skin. Athlete's foot is mildly contagious. It can be spread through direct contact with the infection and by skin particles left on towels, shoes, floors of shower stalls and around swimming pools.
Walking barefoot in the shower at the gym or around the pool may increase your chance of contracting athlete's foot. But you are more likely to develop the infection from not changing sweaty socks and shoes. The risk of developing athlete's foot can also depend on your susceptibility. For example, people who have diabetes are at greater risk.
What Treatment is needed to Remove Athletes Foot?
To clear up althetes foot, we use the latest Danné Montague-King treatment called MediPedi. MediPedi, the newest paramedical foot procedure gives exceptional visible and tactile improvements in just one treatment. It leaves the roughest, most cracked and calloused feet both smooth and soft without the use of any blades or sharp cutting tools. It also kills any fungal infection present, including Athletes Foot.
What Results are expected?
Athletes Foot and other fungal infections are eradicated and feet regain a healthy, soft appearance that both looks and feel great. Hard Skin is removed and even the most cracked and calloused feet are fit to go bare.
