CAN ATHLETE'S FOOT GO AWAY ON ITS OWN IF LEFT UNTREATED?
Athlete’s foot doesn’t typically go away on its own. If it’s left untreated, it can spread to other areas of your body, including:
(a) Nails
Fungal nail infections can be more difficult to treat. They are often more resistant to many treatments.
(b) Hands
A similar fungal infection can spread to your hands. This happens when you scratch your infected feet or use the same towel to dry off your infected feet and hands.
BEST CURE FOR TINEA PEDIS
Over-the-counter and prescription antifungal creams, ointments, gels, sprays or powders effectively treat athlete’s foot.
These products contain clotrimazole, miconazole, tolnaftate or terbinafine.
Some prescription antifungal medications are pills. These pills contain fluconazole, itraconazole or terbinafine.
