Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does the athlete's foot treatment work?
Immediate improvements are observed in most infections within 1-3 days. Visible improvement in mild infections and reduction of itching and burning from the first application. Full clearing is usually done in 5-7 days if used 2 times a day. Be sure to continue for at least one week after symptoms have cleared since fungus may be present without visible symptoms.
Can an athlete's foot spread to the toenails?
Yes. Left untreated, tinea pedis can spread to the toenails and become an independent and more difficult-to-treat infection known as onychomycosis. When the athlete's foot is accompanied by yellow, thickened or brittle nails, treat your athlete's foot and nails together using our Nail Mycosis Solution.
Is this treatment safe for diabetics?
Yes. Imperial Feet Athlete's Foot Treatment does not contain any parabens, is not toxic and contains no artificial or irritating ingredients for sensitive or diabetic skin. Untreated fungal infections can prove to be dangerous for diabetics. If you have open wounds, ulcers, or serious circulation problems, please consult your doctor or podiatrist.
How is this different from Lotrimin or Lamisil?
Lotrimin and Lamisil contain synthetic chemicals that are harsh on the skin and eliminate fungus. In addition to a powerful ingredient like Piroctone Olamine, Imperial Feet also incorporates Aloe Vera, Sweet Almond Oil, Calendula and Chamomile, addressing the infection and also soothing and repairing irritated skin. Also hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive and diabetic skin.
Why does an athlete's foot keep coming back?
Reinfection is caused by the infected shoes, the most common cause. The fungal spores can stay alive in the shoes for 12 months. Use Shoe & Sock Spray inside shoes during treatment, and for several weeks after recovery. The second most frequent cause for recurrence is stopping the treatment early.
Can I use this on eczema-affected skin?
It is infused with Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Calendula and Bisabolol, which have relaxing, anti-inflammatory effects. This has been soothing and gentle for many people who suffer from eczema-like symptoms. If in doubt as to whether it is athlete's foot or eczema, seek a health care professional's diagnosis before treatment
