The cream only needs to be used once a day, which makes it easier to use.It absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue, which increases tolerance.The active ingredient amorolfine penetrates the uppermost layers of skin and acts against the relevant fungal pathogens.The cream also relieves itching, redness and burning of the skin.

How does Loceryl cream work against athlete's foot?

The active ingredient in Loceryl cream is the anti-fungal broad-spectrum antimycotic amorolfine.After application, it penetrates the skin and develops its fungicidal effect.The treatment period is usually 2 to 6 weeks.

Who is Loceryl cream suitable for?

The Loceryl cream is particularly suitable for athlete's foot and can also be used as an accompanying treatment for nail fungus.It is also suitable for fungal skin diseases in the groin area, on the thighs and on the body as well as for fungal skin diseases caused by yeast fungi.

Recognizing athlete's foot

Itching or burning between the toes is often the first sign of a fungal infection.Athlete's foot usually settles in the spaces between the toes, but can also affect the heels and soles of the feet.Other symptoms include scaling, whitish swollen areas, red skin, cracked skin and fluid-filled blisters.As soon as athlete's foot is detected, treatment should begin to combat the fungus more effectively and quickly.

Causes of athlete's foot

The main cause of athlete's foot is the filamentous fungus Trichophyton rubrum.Feet and toenails are usually affected, but other areas of the skin can also be affected.In rare cases, yeast or mold can also lead to athlete's foot.The fungus multiplies on the skin and feeds on it.

Risk of infection from athlete's foot

Skin and nail fungus are contagious diseases that can be transmitted through contact with infected people or objects.There is a particular risk of infection in areas that people enter barefoot, such as public swimming pools, saunas, changing rooms and carpets in hotel rooms.

How can treatment against athlete's foot be supported?

To support treatment, the following measures can help:

Do not share towels or washcloths with other people.Wash these and socks as often as possible and at least 60 degrees.Avoid walking barefoot in swimming pools or saunas and ensure good blood circulation in your feet, e.g. by doing foot exercises.Wash your feet every day and then dry them carefully, especially between the toes.Since fungi can penetrate the skin particularly well through cracked areas of skin, you should always moisturize and care for your feet well.

Nail fungus and athlete's foot often occur together

Athlete's foot is often a side effect of nail fungus.If symptoms of foot and nail fungus occur at the same time, it may make sense to accompany the treatment of foot fungus with nail fungus therapy.Loceryl nail polish against nail fungus, for example, can be used for this purpose.

Intake

Apply the cream to the affected skin areas in the evening.
