Athlete's foot in 3-year-old.

[LyraB]

My ds, who has just turned 3, appears to have athlete's foot around his little toe. the skin is yellowing and flaking. What can I put on it? anyone else had to deal with this?

I'll try athlete's foot powder and see how we get on with that.

Yes, try some athlete's foot powder - you could put some into the foot of his socks as well as on his toe. Put some anti-fungal cream on it too - Canesten is fine if you don't have any athlete's foot cream (it's the same stuff).

Make sure that you dry his feet really, really thoroughly after he's had a bath, or if his feet get wet when he's outside. Let him go barefoot as much as possible.

Thanks for that, WWB.
