Nanoparticle Formulation for the Treatment of Tinea Pedis

足癣，也被称为脚癣，是一种常见的皮肤真菌感染，极难根除。它的症状包括瘙痒，鞋底有鳞片，脚趾之间经常有疼痛的裂缝。目前治疗足癣的方法是局部或口服抗真菌药，通常使用1-6周。然而，复发是常见的，高达90%的病例。蓝莓治疗公司已经注意到这种治疗方法的缺乏，并设计了一种纳米粒子配方，它将是直接喷雾到脚和数字空间的理想选择，也是一种用于处理衣服和鞋子的杀菌剂。

Tinea pedis, also known as athlete’s foot, is a common dermatophytic infection, which isextremely difficult to eradicate. 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.
