Can tinea pedis be cured?

Athlete's foot can be completely cured; this disease is caused by a fungal infection. Fungal infections are contagious and tend to recur, but they can be eradicated with proper treatment. Once diagnosed, it is advisable to seek formal treatment in the dermatology department of a regular hospital. Common antifungal creams should be applied twice a day for at least one to two months, and this will typically lead to a cure. After being cured, it is important to prevent recurrence. Try to avoid public bathhouses and swimming, do not wear other people's slippers, and if other family members have the disease, they should be treated at the same time. Avoid sharing washcloths and towels, do not keep small animals at home, and try to avoid contact with dirty water, sand, and soil.
