Why Your Over-the-Counter Antifungal Cream Keeps Failing

(And How FungiFoam® Gets the Job Done Right!)

Let’s say your patient notices a burning, unbearable itch between their toes. Recognizing the classic signs of Athlete’s Foot, they immediately head to the local pharmacy. They stare at a massive wall of brightly colored tubes and sprays, pick a popular brand, and head home for relief.

A week later, they are still miserable.

The thick, greasy drugstore cream ruined their socks and left a chalky residue on their floors; meanwhile, the intense burning sensation keeps returning every afternoon. Their skin is now peeling, and the infection seems to be spreading.

Doctors across the country routinely hear patients complain about the massive failure rate of over-the-counter topical treatments. To save you some time, the team at The Tetra Corporation has explained why OTC just doesn’t cut it…

And how FungiFoam® steps in to break the cycle!

The Problem with Standard Pharmacy Creams

Most over-the-counter antifungal creams suffer from two massive flaws: poor absorption and a singular focus.

First, standard creams are notoriously thick and greasy.

When you apply them to your foot, the medication mostly sits on the very top layer of dead skin.
It struggles to penetrate deeply into the tissue where the active fungal infection is thriving.
Because the cream sits on the surface, it easily rubs off onto your socks and bedsheets before it can do its job.

Second, a fungal infection is complex.

It causes intense itching, severe dryness, and thickened, scaling skin, but a basic drugstore tube only contains a mild antifungal agent.
It does absolutely nothing to soothe the burning itch, hydrate the cracked skin, or exfoliate the dead tissue.
To address all your symptoms, you would have to buy four separate, expensive products and layer them on top of each other.

The FungiFoam® Advantage: The Power of Four

Physicians recognize the frustration patients experience with ineffective pharmacy products. That’s why clinical professionals trust FungiFoam® to deliver rapid, reliable relief.

FungiFoam® is not a greasy cream; it is an elegant, rapidly absorbing topical medication that replaces four separate products in a single application.

Unmatched Penetrating Healing

The secret to FungiFoam® is the delivery system. We formulated oil-soluble tolnaftate directly into natural jojoba oil. Because human skin rapidly recognizes and absorbs jojoba oil, the powerful antifungal medication is instantly carried deep beneath the surface exactly where it needs to go.

2. Immediate Itch Relief

You do not have to suffer while you wait for the fungus to die. FungiFoam® acts as an immediate anti-pruritic. Within minutes of applying the foam, patients report profound relief from the maddening, burning itch of an active infection.

3. Deep Moisturization

Fungal infections strip your skin of its natural defenses, leaving behind painful cracks. FungiFoam® acts as a premium moisturizer, restoring the structural integrity of your skin barrier without leaving any slippery, greasy residue behind.

4. Gentle Exfoliation

To heal properly, you must remove the dead, infected tissue. FungiFoam® gently sloughs away the unsightly scaling and flaking skin, ensuring your feet look smooth and healthy again.

Break the Cycle of Infection

You don’t have to spend a fortune on pharmacy products that fail to deliver results. A single, pearl-sized drop of FungiFoam® treats the entire foot, and one container provides up to six months of clinical relief and prevention.
