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.
Is treatment covered by insurance? Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for chiropody services. We can provide documentation for your claim, and direct billing is available for most major insurers.
Do I need a referral to see a Chiropodist in Ontario? No referral is needed. You can book directly through our clinic.
