No. Anyone can get it. But sports people are among the most at-risk groups because their feet spend so much time in hot, sweaty trainers and boots.

Not true either, although trainers create the perfect conditions for Athlete’s Foot to develop.

Although ‘tinea pedis’ is a foot condition, the fungus can develop into other conditions in other parts of your body, like the groin and palms of your hands.

While it’s true that people who don’t wash and dry their feet regularly are vulnerable to Athlete’s Foot, it’s also true that people who wash their feet excessively can expose themselves to it. Vigorous scrubbing can damage the skin and let the fungi in.

Not true! And high heels and tight shoes increase your chances of developing the condition.

If left untreated, Athlete's Foot can spread, cracking large areas of skin and exposing your feet to other, more serious, infections which could eventually disable you.

Even if you’ve only got the symptoms in one of your feet, it’s highly likely that your other foot is infected too.  If using Lamisil Once^®  you should treat both feet.

Athlete’s Foot is highly contagious. If you’ve got it, don’t walk around barefoot or share towels, and start treating it.

If the treatment you’re using specifies a course of treatment (seven days with most Lamisil ^® AT products, up to four weeks with ‘fungistatic’ treatments), make sure you complete the full course, otherwise the symptoms may return. Lamisil Once^®, however, just requires one application.

You’re just alleviating the symptoms – temporarily – rather than treating the infection. For better results, use an antifungal.
