ABSTRACT:
A compound and method for treating tinea pedis. An antifungal agent, such as melaleuca alternifolia extract oil, is added to the ingredients of soap in a concentration that is great enough to treat tinea pedis when the skin is washed with the soap. As a result, a person is effectively applying a preventative treatment of the antifungal agent each time that person baths with the soap. The duration of the treatment is regulated by selectively altering the size and/or amount of soap. Other ingredients can also be added to the soap to increase the effectiveness of the antifungal agent. Furthermore, fragrance can be added to the soap to mask any unpleasant odor that may be associated with the antifungal agent or the other active ingredients.
