Fungal infections of the foot are a common issue that affects many people. They are caused by a variety of fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments, such as inside shoes or socks. Symptoms of foot fungus can include itching, burning, and redness, as well as the appearance of cracked, peeling skin.

At Carrollton Foot Center, we offer a range of treatment options for foot fungus, depending on the severity of the infection. Our first line of defense is often topical medications, such as antifungal creams or ointments. These can be applied directly to the affected area and are usually effective for mild to moderate cases of foot fungus.

For more severe cases of foot fungus, we may recommend oral antifungal medication. These medications work from the inside out, helping to eliminate the infection from within. They are generally well-tolerated but can have side effects, so we always make sure to carefully monitor our patients who are taking them.

Another treatment option for foot fungus is laser therapy. This innovative treatment uses a specialized laser to target the fungi that cause the infection, helping to eliminate them and promote healthy skin growth. Laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment that can provide long-lasting results for many patients.

In addition to these treatment options, we also work with our patients to identify and address any underlying factors that may be contributing to their foot fungus. This can include things like wearing shoes that don’t breathe, failing to dry the feet thoroughly after bathing or showering, or having a weakened immune system due to other health conditions.

At Carrollton Foot Center, we are committed to helping our patients achieve healthy, happy feet. If you’re struggling with foot fungus, don’t suffer in silence – make an appointment with us today to learn more about our treatment options and start feeling better.
