Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What symptoms indicate Athlete's Foot?
Typical symptoms include itching, burning, redness, peeling, cracked skin, scaling, or foul odor between the toes or on the soles of the feet. Some cases may also cause blisters or thickened skin.
Is Athlete's Foot contagious?
Yes. Athlete's Foot is a fungal infection that spreads through direct contact or shared surfaces like gym floors, showers, socks, or shoes. Early treatment reduces the risk of spreading it to others or other areas of your body.
What causes Athlete's Foot?
It is caused by a fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments. Risk factors include sweating, wearing tight shoes, sharing footwear, walking barefoot in public areas, or having a history of fungal infections.
Can Athlete's Foot be treated at home?
Mild cases may improve with over-the-counter antifungals, but persistent or worsening symptoms often require professional evaluation to ensure proper treatment and prevent complications.
How is Athlete's Foot treated?
Treatment may include topical or oral antifungal medications, skin barrier repair strategies, hygiene recommendations, and prevention plans to reduce recurrence.
Can children get Athlete's Foot?
Yes. Although more common in adults, children can also develop fungal foot infections, especially if they participate in sports or frequently wear tight footwear.
When should I seek urgent care?
Seek urgent evaluation if you notice spreading redness, severe pain, swelling, fever, or drainage, as these may indicate bacterial infection requiring medical treatment.
How can I prevent Athlete's Foot?
Keep feet clean and dry, change socks regularly, avoid walking barefoot in public areas, use moisture-wicking footwear, and disinfect shoes when needed.
Will my insurance cover an Athlete's Foot visit?
Most insurance plans cover evaluations for skin infections. Coverage varies by plan, copay, and deductible. Our team can help verify benefits.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a list of symptoms, medications, any previous fungal treatments, and note when the condition began to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
