Pregnant women with athlete’s foot, i.e. tinea pedis, can be treated by lifestyle modification such as washing feet diligently and applying antifungal drugs such as ketoconazole.
1. Lifestyle management: pay attention to foot cleanliness and hygiene, wash feet, shoes and socks, pay attention to foot ventilation; avoid sharing bathrooms, bath towels, slippers, bath tubs, socks and other supplies with others to avoid the spread of athlete’s foot; avoid walking for a long time resulting in increased sweating of the feet.
2. Medication: You can use topical miconazole, miconazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine and other antifungal drugs, as well as salicylic acid ointment, urea ointment and other exfoliating agents. In addition, for pregnant women with diabetes and other underlying diseases leading to low immunity, insulin preparations need to be applied to control blood sugar.
Pregnant women suffering from athlete’s foot should consult a specialist in a timely manner and pay attention to the use of medication under the guidance of a physician.
