Symptom #2: Dry Skin
Another symptom that runs common among various forms of fungal infection is dry skin. This is made worse when you take your feet out of the warm, humid interior of your shoes. As they are exposed to dry air, they will become quite chapped and uncomfortable.
The best way to manage this is to use a moisturizer in addition to getting an antifungal cream. Using antifungal creams on their own can definitely help to rid you of the fungus, but for the few days that you’re using it, your skin will still be dry – oftentimes more dry than it would be without using the antifungal. For this reason, moisturizers are ideal.
