What are ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot?

Ringworm (tinea corporis), Dhobie itch/jock itch (tinea cruris) and athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) are skin infections caused by fungi pathogens. These infections are contagious and should be treated as soon as possible to avoid infecting other people.

Fungal skin infections can spread to other parts of the body. This commonly occurs with athlete’s foot and fungal nail infections. The fungi of athlete’s foot between the toes can spread to the toenail, resulting in a fungal nail infection. Similarly, a ringworm infection which spreads to your groin area is commonly referred to as jock itch.

Symptoms of a fungal skin infection include:

• Bald spots on scalp
• Blisters
• Broken skin
• Discolouration of nails
• Itching skin
• Peeling skin
• Raised ring shaped rash
• Scaling or flaky skin

While the condition can be uncomfortable, it is important to resist the urge of scratching infected rashes, as this increases the risk of spreading the infection to other parts of your body.

Fungal infections can be easily treated with over-the-counter and prescription medicines. Lamisil is one such treatment for fungal skin infections, such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot.

Lamisil works to treat fungi infections. Lamisil’s active ingredient, terbinafine hydrochloride, inhibits squalene epoxidase in fungal cells, affecting their ability to make the sterols necessary for their survival.

As a result, treatment with Lamisil causes the fungal cells to die. As the fungus is killed by the medicine, the related symptoms, such as itching and rash, subside.

Depending on the location of the infection, the severity of the infection, and the treatment used to treat it, the time it takes for the infection to be killed can vary from a few weeks to a few months.

Lamisil Cream

Lamisil cream is applied topically and is absorbed by the skin.

The cream helps to sooth the itching caused by the infection, providing relief from the discomfort. This also indirectly helps to reduce the chances of the infection spreading to other parts of the body through scratching.

How long does it take for Lamisil 1% cream to work?

Depending on the type of fungal infection you have, it may take up to two weeks before you begin to notice a difference using Lamisil cream.

Typically, you should start to notice an improvement in your symptoms after two to three days of treatment. Other fungal infections, such as ringworm and jock itch, may take up to two weeks before an improvement is seen.

Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist if you do not notice an improvement after 2 weeks of treatment with Lamisil cream.

Lamisil Tablet

Lamisil tablets are taken orally.

Once ingested, terbinafine hydrochloride interferes with the fungal cells ability to produce the enzyme they need to survive.

How long does it take for Lamisil 250 mg tablets to work?

It can take between six and twelve weeks for Lamisil 250 mg tablets to work.

If you have any concerns about how long it should take before you notice an improvement of your symptoms, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Ask the Doctors – What can I do about toenail fungus?

Dear Doctor: I had toenail fungus two years ago, and my doctor prescribed Lamisil. It took a long time, but it worked. Now the fungus, which is so ugly, is back again. Why is it so hard to get rid of, and are there any new treatments available?

Dear Reader: Toenail fungus is fairly common, but that’s not much consolation to the 6 million or so people in the United States who have to put up with it. It’s an often-unsightly infection caused by a microscopic organism called a dermatophyte that lives beneath the toenail. More precisely, it colonizes the portion of the nail known as the matrix, which is underneath the cuticle.

Initial symptoms are a yellowish or brownish discoloration of the toenail. As the infection progresses, nails will often become thickened, crumbly and malformed. Although the fungus affects the appearance of the nails, it actually lives on the layer directly beneath the toenail. That’s why it’s so difficult to treat.

Your nails are made up of keratin, a tough, fibrous protein. The same hard shell that protects your toes is giving shelter to the fungus. For topical medications to be successful in killing the fungus, they have to be able to reach it.

Anti-fungal creams and liquids are available, both in over-the-counter preparations and by prescription. But because nails are not porous, it’s difficult for the medication to reach the infection in concentrations great enough to kill the fungus. As a result, success rates for topical treatments are low.

Systemic medications, like the Lamisil your physician prescribed, take a more direct approach. You swallow the pill, it gets digested, and the medication enters your bloodstream. Your circulatory system delivers the medication directly to the fungus living beneath your toenail and, in the best-case scenario, kills it.

However, there are drawbacks. Side effects can include headache, nausea and diarrhea. In rare cases, the drug can cause liver damage, so blood tests to monitor potential toxicity are needed. These infections are quite persistent, and your experience with recurrence is fairly typical. Although oral medications are the most effective, reported failure rates are as high as 20 to 30 percent.

Nail growth is slow, which means treatment is a lengthy process. A big toenail can take anywhere from a year to 18 months for new growth to completely replace the old, infected nail. Oral treatment for toenail fungus generally lasts 12 weeks. Topical preparations must be applied for at least a year.

Nail fungus is not a health risk to most people. But anyone with a compromised immune system, such as a diabetic who contracts nail fungus, is at risk of developing serious complications like foot ulcers. Therefore, it’s vital that diabetics seek medical treatment.

As for your question about new treatments, some physicians and podiatrists offer laser treatment of toenail fungus. Although some patients report good results, reliable data about the long-term efficacy of laser treatment is scarce.

Our recommendation is that you meet with your primary care physician, who will want to do a physical exam of the affected area. Then you can discuss the specifics of the recurrence and evaluate which of the existing treatments are best for you at this time.
