Foot Fungus

Life & Sole - Foot Fungus

Foot Fungus, Foot Rot, Athletes Feet, Stink Foot (Bromhidrosis),  Moccasin Foot Infection, Subclinical Infection, Thrush …. The list goes on !  

Fungus usually prefers dark, moist and warm conditions. This is what it is like inside a shoe, so it is no wonder that feet are prone to fungus whereas hands are not.

If you are concerned that you may have a form of fungus affecting your skin or nails, arrange a visit. Your problem may not be fungal, so we offer a 99.99% accurate diagnostic test for fungus.

The skin is great at being a barrier but when it gets damaged and isn’t ‘just right’,  bacterial 'germs’ are helped in by fungus and can make feet smell bad. We have solutions for this too so there is no need to feel embarrassed.

Fungus feeds on the keratin in skin. Skin is damaged by too much moisture; sweat or water in the shoes.  Also very dry skin, for whatever reason, results in tiny cracks and there is a risk of fungal and then bacterial infection entering. This can be much more serious especially in people with diabetes, nerve damage (neuropathy) and/or circulation problems.

We offer a 10 minute, 99.99% accurate diagnostic test. This tests a sample for fungal DNA and we will be able to give you results straight away.

Top Tips to be getting on with :
- Wear bamboo socks. Fungus doesn’t like bamboo.
- Wash daily, gently dry well between toes .
- Let feet see the sunshine and be in fresh air.
- Think about your ‘gut biome’ … yes, it's all joined up! The food we eat has a massive effect on the health and flora of our skin.
