What Causes an Athlete's Foot?.

Walking Barefoot

In communal showers, locker rooms, and swimming pool areas

Tight Footwear

Wearing tight, non-breathable footwear for long hours

Sweaty Socks

Sweaty socks left on too long

Infected Surface

Direct contact with infected surfaces, towels, or footwear.

If you are experiencing these early symptoms, using a targeted Athlete's Foot Treatment can help clear the skin infection before it worsens.

Is Athlete's Foot Contagious?

Yes, an athlete's foot spreads through direct contact with infected skin, contaminated surfaces (floors, bath mats, towels), and shared footwear. It can spread from person to person, from your own skin to your nails, and from your shoes back to freshly treated skin if footwear is not disinfected.

Prevention during treatment:

Wear flip-flops in all shared wet spaces, wash towels separately at 60°C, never share shoes or nail tools, and use the Shoe & Sock Spray inside all footwear daily. Read more about what an athlete's foot is and how to treat it.

Natural Foot Fungus Treatments | Ingredients That Soothe and Protect

Imperial Feet combines antifungal protection with ingredients specifically chosen to restore the skin barrier at the same time.

Natural foot fungus treatment ingredients

Glycerin

Draws deep moisture into the skin, restoring the barrier that athlete's foot breaks down. The skin around and between the toes heals more quickly when it stays hydrated.

Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis)

Rich in fatty acids that nourish and calm irritated, inflamed skin. Reduces the redness and rawness associated with active fungal skin infections.

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice)

Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing. Soothes the itching and burning of active infection from the very first application.

These are cosmetic/soothing ingredients. They calm and restore the skin while the antifungal active, Piroctone Olamine, addresses the fungal environment. The two together work better than either alone.

Elevate Your Routine | Anti-Fungal Foot Soak for Athlete's Foot

Tea Tree Oil and Epsom Salt make up the Nail & Sole Foot Soak, which is an antifungal foot soak.

How to use it:

Put 1.5 tablespoons in 1 gallon (around 3.8 litres) of warm water.

Specialized Advice

The best part is that you have to apply it twice a day, as well as spray your shoes and socks with the Shoe & Sock Spray. You will then be fighting half the battle when you miss that step. Select the solution which best suits you, establish the routine and have the results speak for themselves.

Get Your Results | What to Expect

Nail fungus requires patience. Healthy nails take time to grow out. Here is a realistic timeline for clearing the infection with consistent twice-daily treatment.

Healthy feet after toenail fungus treatment

Weeks 1-2

Fungus spread stops. Itching or discomfort (if any) subsides.

Weeks 2-4

The nail appearance may change (sometimes looking slightly chalky) as the active ingredients work.

Months 2-3

Clearer, healthy nail growth becomes visible at the base of the cuticle.

Months 3-6

The healthy nail pushes the infected portion out. Half the nail may now be clear.

Months 6-12+

Complete replacement. The old infected nail has been fully clipped away, leaving a clear, healthy toenail.

When to See a Doctor About Athlete's Foot

Most cases of athlete's foot respond well to consistent OTC treatment within 1–2 weeks. See a doctor or podiatrist if:

You have diabetes or poor circulation. Any foot skin infection needs professional evaluation.
Symptoms have not improved after 2–4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use.
You notice redness, warmth, swelling, or pus. These are signs of secondary bacterial infection, not fungal, and require different treatment.
The infection is spreading rapidly to new areas or to other household members despite treatment.
You have broken skin or open sores that are not healing.

For diabetics especially: Do not manage foot infections without professional guidance. Reduced sensation means damage can progress further than you realise before it becomes visible.

Frequently Asked Question

Is an athlete's foot contagious?

Yes, an athlete's foot spreads easily through contaminated floors, towels, and shared footwear. Wear flip-flops in communal showers and pools, wash towels separately at 60°C, and never share shoes or socks during an active infection. Treat your shoes with the Shoe & Sock Spray throughout treatment to prevent spreading fungal spores to others or reinfecting yourself.

How long before I see results from athlete's foot treatment?

For mild infections, itching and burning typically reduce within 1–3 days of consistent twice-daily use. Visible skin improvement follows within 5–7 days. Continue for at least one full week after symptoms disappear. The fungus can still be active when the skin looks clear. Stopping too early is the most common cause of recurrence.

Can I use the Imperial Feet Athlete's Foot Solution if I have diabetes?

The formula is paraben-free and made with gentle natural ingredients; suitable for daily use on sensitive and diabetic skin. However, diabetics should consult their healthcare provider before starting any treatment for a foot skin infection. Reduced circulation and sensation in diabetic feet mean infections can progress without obvious pain signals. Professional evaluation is always the safer first step.

What is the difference between an athlete's foot and nail fungus?

Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a skin infection. It presents as itching, peeling, and redness between the toes and on the soles. Nail fungus (onychomycosis) infects the nail plate and nail bed, causing thickening and discolouration. They are caused by the same dermatophyte fungi and often occur together. Untreated athlete's foot is one of the main routes to nail fungal infection. For the full comparison, see athlete's foot vs nail fungus — what's the difference.

Do I need to treat my shoes even after symptoms have gone away?

Yes. Fungal spores survive inside shoes for weeks to months meaning your freshly cleared skin can be reinfected the moment you put on an untreated shoe. Use the Shoe & Sock Spray for at least 2–4 weeks after symptoms resolve. This is the step most people skip, and the main reason athlete's feet keep coming back.

Can an athlete's foot spread to other parts of the body?

Yes. If you scratch infected skin and touch other areas, the fungus can spread to the hands (tinea manuum), groin (tinea cruris/jock itch), or body (tinea corporis/ringworm). Wash hands thoroughly after touching infected skin and avoid scratching, even when the itching is intense.

Is it safe to use Athlete's Foot Solution on children?

The formula is gentle and paraben-free. For children under 12, consult a paediatric doctor or pharmacist before use. For children over 12, apply as directed for adults once or twice daily to affected areas.

Can I use Athlete's Foot Solution on my hands if the infection has spread there?

Yes, the formula is safe for use on hands as well as feet. Apply to clean, dry skin twice daily. If the infection on your hands is severe or spreading rapidly, consult a dermatologist.

What are the Most Effective over-the-counter treatments for Foot Fungus?

The Solution for Athlete’s Foot is the best we offer for the treatment of athlete’s foot. For effective over-the-counter athlete's foot remedies with disinfectant and a healing environment, with athlete’s foot solution, use the solution for nail mycosis along with the Shoe & Sock spray and Foot Balm Green for healthier feet and less fear of reinfection.
