How Do I Treat Athlete’s Foot at Home?

Athlete’s foot is a common contagious skin infection that can be treated at home or by a specialist in more severe cases. This foot fungus thrives in moist environments and spreads through contact with an infected person or with a contaminated surface. Over-the-counter foot medications and home remedies can help get rid of athlete’s foot. In cases where these treatments do not work, you should see a doctor to get a prescription medication or discuss other types of foot care and treatment.
