It is important to continue treatment for the full recommended duration, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the fungus is completely eradicated. If the infection does not respond to over-the-counter treatments or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options. The doctor will consider the need to send skin samples for microscopy and culture. Occasionally, for example when the diagnosis is uncertain or the treatment prescribed by the family practice doctor is unsuccessful, referral to a dermatology specialist should be arranged.
In general, after successful treatment of the infection, preventive measures should be taken to reduce the risk of reinfection and good foot hygiene practiced to maintain healthy feet.
