Itchy, red, or flaky skin on your feet? Athlete's foot is assessed and treated by a Registered Chiropodist at our Don Mills clinic. No referral needed — book online in under a minute.

Consider an Assessment if You Notice:

• Itching or burning between the toes

• Red, scaly, or flaky skin

• Cracking or peeling on the soles

• Moist, white, or soft skin between the toes

• Skin changes that keep coming back

• Signs it may be spreading to the toenails

What Happens at Your Appointment

Your Chiropodist examines the affected skin, confirms the likely cause, and discusses treatment. Care may include a topical plan or, in some cases, prescribed medication, along with footwear and hygiene guidance to reduce the chance of it returning.

What Is Athlete's Foot?

Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection of the skin, most often between the toes, though it is not limited to that area. The fungus responsible thrives in warm, damp conditions and can spread through contact with contaminated surfaces such as pool decks, locker room floors, and shared towels, or by keeping feet damp in socks or shoes. Left unaddressed it can persist and, in some cases, involve the toenails — where it can lead to a fungal nail infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will athlete's foot go away on its own? It often persists without treatment and can spread to other areas or the toenails. A Chiropodist can assess the skin and discuss an appropriate approach.
