Athletes Foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the skin of the foot - It can be in the webs of the toes, or on the sole of the foot. If not treated, it will damage the webs, travel to other parts of the foot, and, if it moves to the toenails, it can seriously damage them - at this point it is called Onychomycosis. With early attention it can be easily controlled. Our Antifungal Foot Massage Ointment has an antifungal component and is formulated to ease the symptoms of this condition. Check your feet regularly.
PIONEER ANTIFUNGAL FOOT MASSAGE OINTMENT
Our Antifungal Foot Massage Ointment has been a feature of our regular market offerings for some years. However, since our entry into the equine, canine and country occupations communities, we have had a demand for a robust formula. In many country occupations, after a hard day in stables, farmyards or out in the fields and woods, feet that have been enclosed in heavy duty boots, rubber boots or riding boots need air, a thorough washing down and very careful attention to drying. Otherwise feet that are susceptible to Tinea Pedis will suffer. And Tinea can be quite serious if not attended to on a regular basis. As a very general rule of thumb, if you suffer from dandruff, flaky scalp, yeast infection and/or if your feet perspire freely, then you may also be prone to Tinea Pedis (Athletes Foot).
It is also a very common occurence for equestrians and agricultural workers to have a foot damaged with a horse's hoof.( the traditional term for this was "Ostler's Toe"). This is where the big toenail is damaged by a blow or a crushing action as a horses foot comes to ground. If not very carefully managed, the damaged toenail may become infected. If this happens you should consult your GP. A male large toenail can take 9 months to regrow - a female nail 6 months.
Our Antifungal Foot Massage Ointment is a strong blend made especially for our equestrian, field pursuits and country based customers who need a really effective and fast acting balm that, when used as part of your regular foot maintenance programme, will help you to keep your feet healthy.
PLEASE NOTE: The spores that cause Athletes Foot will congregate in the material of the shoe, or boot INSIDE the boot - that is the material that faces your skin, and will not be killed in the wash if you wear man made fibre socks, tights or stockings inside the boot. (these items are washed at temperatures of around 40C, which will not kill bacteria and fungal spores. You need to wear cotton socks because they can be washed at higher temperatures (above 50C is essential). At the same time, buy some Athletes Foot powder from your pharmacy and sprinkle it INSIDE your boots so that it kills the spores clinging to the material that faces your socks and skin. Not much point in treating your feet and then putting them inside footwear that is hiding spores. If you suffer from this irritating problem on a regular basis, do NOT wear your shoes, boots or trainers with bare feet - always wear socks. Your footwear will harbour spores for years.
NB: Allergies: This balm includes Tea Tree and Thyme Oils.
