Its symptoms include pruritic, scaly soles and often painfulfissures between the toes. Tinea pedis is currently treated with topical or oral antifungals,which are usually used for 1-6 weeks. However recurrences are common with up to 90% ofcases. Blueberry Therapeutics have noted this lack of curative treatment and have devised ananoparticle formulation, which will be ideal for spray delivery direct to the feet andinterdigital spaces as well as a biocide to treat clothes and footwear.
