WHEN SHOULD I SEE A GP?

Please see your GP if:

  • symptoms don’t improve or worsen after using an athletes foot treatment
  • your foot or leg is hot, painful and red as this could indicate a serious infection
  • infection spreads to other parts of your body for example – your hands
  • you have diabetes – foot problems are more serious if you have diabetes
  • you have a weakened immune system
  • you are pregnant or elderly
