One of the most common issues that people come to see Dr. O'Neill for is athlete's foot. This condition can develop when your feet get sweaty in tight shoes, which creates a perfect environment for the fungus to thrive.
While athlete's foot is easily treatable, it's important not to ignore it as it can easily spread and lead to further infection if left untreated. That's why it's essential to seek treatment as soon as possible if you're experiencing symptoms.
If you're in the Pomona, La Verne, or Claremont areas and you suspect that you may have athlete's foot, don't hesitate to get in touch with our office. Dr. O'Neill is an expert in treating this condition and will be able to help you get back on your feet in no time!
If you're an active person, especially an athlete, who loves to be on the go, you might have heard of athlete's foot. It's a common fungal infection that can develop when your feet are exposed to warm and humid conditions, like in tight tennis shoes.
But did you know that athlete's foot is highly contagious and can be contracted from a variety of sources? That's right! You can get it from walking barefoot in public areas like bathrooms or from direct contact with someone who has it.
If you're dealing with athlete's foot, you might notice some uncomfortable symptoms like itching, burning, and raw skin between your toes. Some people might even develop blisters or experience dry, cracked skin.
But don't worry! There are many treatment options available to help you get rid of this pesky infection. It's important to act quickly to prevent it from spreading and to get back to doing what you love in no time. So don't hesitate to reach out for help!

The good news is that athlete's foot is a treatable condition! There are many over-the-counter antifungal creams, powders, and sprays available that can help alleviate the symptoms and eliminate the infection. These options are typically effective for milder cases.
However, for more severe cases of athlete's foot, it's always a good idea to seek the advice of a medical professional like Dr. O'Neill. They can recommend prescription-strength medications or antifungal pills that can provide even more relief and help you get back on your feet faster.
Don't hesitate to reach out for help if you're struggling with athlete's foot. With the right treatment, you can get back to doing what you love without any discomfort or pain!
As the saying goes, "prevention is better than cure," and that's especially true when it comes to athlete's foot. Here are some friendly tips on how to prevent this pesky foot condition:
Make sure to wear shoes when walking in public areas like pools, gyms, shower or locker areas, and hotel rooms. This helps to protect your feet from coming into contact with the fungus that causes athlete's foot.
Keep your feet dry. Athlete's foot thrives in warm and moist environments, so it's essential to keep your feet dry at all times. Be sure to dry your feet completely after washing or sweating.
Wash your feet daily with soap and water. This helps to remove any bacteria or fungus that might be lurking on your skin.
Wear moisture-wicking socks or socks made of natural fabrics. These types of socks help to keep your feet dry and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to athlete's foot. It's also important to change your socks every day.
Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day. Allow your shoes to dry completely between uses to prevent the growth of fungus.
If you share a space with someone who has athlete's foot, be sure to wear shoes in areas they have walked and avoid sharing towels, bed linens, or shoes. This helps prevent the spread of the infection.
By following these prevention practices, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing athlete's foot and keep your feet healthy and happy!
