Athlete’s foot is a common fungal skin infection that affects the feet, often causing itching, redness, peeling, and discomfort. It can spread easily and may worsen if left untreated.

At Downtown Foot Clinic, our licensed chiropodists provide professional assessment and effective treatment to eliminate infection, relieve symptoms, and prevent recurrence.

 

Common Symptoms

• • Itching or burning sensation between the toes
  • Peeling, cracking, or flaky skin
  • Redness or inflammation
  • Dry or scaly patches on the foot
  • Blisters in more severe cases
  • Unpleasant odour

Early treatment can help stop the infection from spreading.
