Practical guide

Fungal infections of the feet and hands: what you need to know

People commonly talk about fungal foot infections, or fungal infections of the hands or nails, to describe a fungal skin infection. Let us be clear: neither a food supplement nor a massage oil treats a fungal infection. Only a doctor or pharmacist can confirm what it is and suggest a suitable treatment.

This guide explains what is involved, recalls the hygiene habits usually recommended and describes the two products in this section, Panaks oil and oregano oil, without attributing any effect to them.

Medical advice first

A persistent skin or nail lesion should be examined.

Everyday hygiene

Drying, airing, changing socks: simple, regular habits.

Products described

No health claim is authorised for oregano or essential oils.

Understanding

Fungal infections of the feet, hands and nails: what are we talking about?

A fungal infection is an infection caused by microscopic fungi, most often dermatophytes or yeasts. They thrive in warm, moist areas: between the toes, under the arch of the foot, around and under the nails. Changing rooms, swimming pools and closed shoes worn for long periods are among the situations often mentioned.

Other skin problems can look the same. That is why you should not rely on a simple impression: the doctor or pharmacist examines the lesion, sometimes takes a sample and suggests the appropriate care. If the episode recurs, spreads or affects a nail, do not wait to seek advice.

Everyday care

Which hygiene habits for feet and hands?

These common-sense tips are the ones most often given:

Dry thoroughly

After showering, dry carefully between the toes and between the fingers.

Let your feet breathe

Cotton socks changed every day, shoes alternated and aired.

Do not share

Towels, nail clippers, slippers and shoes should stay personal.

Protect yourself in damp places

At the swimming pool, gym or sauna, wear sandals.

Composition

What do the products in this section contain?

Oregano is a Mediterranean aromatic herb, traditionally used in cooking. Researchers are interested in the carvacrol and thymol it contains, but no health claim is authorised for oregano in the European Union. A massage oil is a cosmetic product: it is no substitute for prescribed treatment.

Panaks, massage oil

A product for external use: 90% vegetable oils (sesame, baobab, shea, palm kernel, coconut, cottonseed) and 10% essential oils, including tropical basil, lemongrass, eucalyptus and niaouli. It can be applied to the feet, among other areas.

Oregano oil capsules

A food supplement: olive oil and oregano oil (Origanum vulgare) standardised to 70% carvacrol, i.e. 133 mg of oregano oil and 93 mg of carvacrol per vegetable capsule.

Buying guide

How to choose a product from this section

Seek advice before buying

Have the diagnosis confirmed and follow the treatment suggested.

Do a skin test

For Panaks, apply 1 to 2 drops to the inside of the elbow and wait 24 hours.

Check the standardisation

A reputable oregano oil states its carvacrol content per capsule.

Read the precautions

Oregano oil is not recommended for pregnant women; Panaks is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 7.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ on fungal infections of the feet and hands

Can a natural product cure a fungal foot infection?

No. A fungal infection is an infection that requires medical or pharmaceutical advice. A food supplement complements the diet; it does not treat or prevent any disease.

Is oregano oil used against fungi?

It is often mentioned online, and its compounds are the subject of laboratory studies. But no health claim is authorised for oregano, and it is no substitute for treatment.

Can undiluted essential oils be applied to the skin?

It is best avoided: essential oils are highly concentrated. In Panaks, they make up 10% of the blend, diluted in vegetable oils. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash your hands after use.

How should oregano oil be taken?

The product page states 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times a day, with a meal, swallowed whole without opening the capsule. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice.

When should I seek advice for fungal nail infections?

As soon as a nail changes colour, thickens or becomes brittle. Diagnosis often requires a sample, and treatment, which can last several months, is followed with a healthcare professional.
