6. Bacterial Infections
The athlete’s foot that is left untreated often create more serious symptoms and conditions such as oozing, dry, and cracked skin. This means that the skin is open and is vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. When the affected part is neglected and left uncovered, infections may occur.
The bacterial infection is a common symptom of athlete’s foot especially if the affected person has had it for a prolonged time. It is vital to know if your athlete’s foot has turned into a bacterial infection so that proper medications can be taken. Oftentimes, an antibacterial topical lotion would suffice; however, if the infection becomes severe, some doctors may prescribe an actual oral antibiotic.
