What is Athlete's Foot?

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is a common skin infection caused by a fungus. Left untreated, Athlete’s Foot can spread to toenails which can cause fungal nail infections. Athlete’s Foot can also spread to your hands if you scratch the itchy areas. It can also be passed person to person.

How do I prevent athlete’s foot?

Don’t share towels or shoes

Why does athlete’s foot keep coming back?

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) often keeps coming back because the underlying conditions that caused it in the first place—moisture, warmth, and exposure to fungus—are still present. Even after treatment, if the environment or habits don’t change, the fungus can return.

How does Dryello work?

Our active ingredient Tolnaftate 1% kills Athlete’s Foot and helps keep it from coming back, while our no-mess dry stick (like a stick of deodorant) goes on dry and stays dry—because less moisture means less fungus.

Why do I need two sticks?

Every Dryello pack comes with 2 identical sticks - the exact dose you need to clear up foot fungus. We made ‘em small to get between your toes. Use both sticks all up in 30 days, by making Dryello part of your daily routine, 2X/day (morning and night). And then sit back, put those beautiful, naked, fungus-free feet up, and enjoy.

How long do I use Dryello?

Make sure you use both sticks completely in 30 days.

Apply more for the first 10 days - finishing the first stick by Day 10.

And then taper slowly as you see improvement - finishing the second stick by Day 30.

Stick to a daily dose beyond 30 days for maintenance and enjoy the happy, healthy, fungus-free life.

How quickly does Dryello start to work?

Dryello starts working as soon as you use it. From the first wash, it helps remove the fungus on the skin and creates an environment that makes it harder for it to grow. Many people notice improvement in symptoms like itching and redness within a few days, but it is important to use Dryello consistently for the full recommended period to fully clear the infection and help prevent it from coming back.

What makes Dryello different?

Dryello is different because it is the first-ever dry stick antifungal designed specifically for athlete’s foot. It is dermatologist-developed and delivers antifungal treatment without creams, sprays, or sticky residue. The bar format makes it easy to use daily in the shower, helps reduce the risk of spreading fungus, and fits naturally into your regular hygiene routine.
