[Key points for treating athlete's foot around the nails]
Keep clean: Cleanliness is the first requirement for treating athlete's foot. Wash the affected area well with soap and always keep it fresh and clean.
Dry thoroughly: Athlete's foot fungus is vulnerable to dryness. After sweating or getting wet, wipe the affected area with a towel and dry it thoroughly.
Rub the medicine into the skin at the border with the nail: Rub the medicine into the skin at the border with the nail.
Applying the medicine after a bath, when the skin is soft, is recommended.
Continue treatment patiently: Athlete's foot fungus is a persistent fungus. Even when symptoms subside and you think it may be cured, the fungus often has not been killed, which causes recurrence. For a complete cure, continue treatment for a while even after you think the symptoms have subsided.
※Nail fungus requires appropriate treatment under a doctor's care.
