FAQs — Everything You Need to Know

Dryello is a line of dermatologist-developed dry sticks for your feet, including the Athlete's Foot Treatment Stick (tolnaftate 1%) and the Antiperspirant Deodorant Foot Soft Glide-On Stick (Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY 6%). Both glide on dry — unlike creams, sprays, or powders, they're mess-free.

Dryello glides on dry, with no wait time. That makes it easier to apply consistently, which matters since consistency maximizes results from antifungal treatments and antiperspirant deodorants.

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.

The Symptoms: redness, smelly feet, skin maceration, inflammation, itchiness. Many people don’t realize they have it even though they have these telltale signs:

• Itchy, burning, or stinging feet (especially between the toes)
• Red, flaky, or peeling skin
• Small cracks or sore blisters
• Dry, rough patches on the bottom of the foot
• Unpleasant foot odor

Moisture, warmth, and sweat create the perfect conditions for fungus to grow—especially between the toes. Walking barefoot in locker rooms, gyms, pools, or showers. Wearing shoes that make your feet sweat, like work boots or high heels, or wet sweaty socks for long periods.

• Apply Dryello daily, especially between the toes
• Change shoes and socks each day
• Avoid walking barefoot in public showers or gyms
• Don’t share towels or shoes

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.

The Athlete’s Foot Treatment Stick contains tolnaftate 1%, an antifungal active ingredient. The dry stick applies directly to the skin without creams, sprays, or powders.

Every Dryello pack comes with 2 identical sticks for a 30-day treatment course. We made them small to get between your toes. Use 2X/day for 30 days (morning and night).

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.

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.

Dryello’s Athlete’s Foot Treatment Stick contains tolnaftate 1% in a dry, glide-on format. It applies without creams, sprays, or sticky residue and can be used as directed on the label.

Most cases clear within 4 weeks of consistent, twice-daily treatment with tolnaftate 1%. In Dryello's clinical study, 87% of participants were cured within 4 weeks. See the clinical evidence.

Yes. Choose breathable socks and shoes that can fully dry between wears.

It's unlikely. Without antifungal treatment, athlete's foot typically persists or spreads rather than resolving on its own.

They're caused by the same family of fungus (dermatophytes) but affect different areas: athlete's foot affects the feet, jock itch the groin, and ringworm the body.

If symptoms persist beyond 4 weeks of consistent use, discontinue and consult a healthcare provider.

Foot odor is caused by bacteria breaking down sweat and debris on the skin. Feet have a high concentration of sweat glands, and warm, damp environments like shoes and socks give odor-causing bacteria the perfect place to thrive.

Not necessarily. Foot odor alone is usually caused by sweat and bacteria. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that typically also includes itching, burning, and peeling skin. Odor can happen with or without a fungal infection present.

It's formulated specifically for feet and glides on smooth for full sole of foot coverage, to help control sweat and odor throughout the day. Why a foot antiperspirant should be a softer formula.

Yes. In a clinical study, Dryello reduced foot sweat by more than 30% at Day 14.

Once daily, to clean, dry feet, with reapplication as needed on heavy training or travel days.

It's designed to reduce sweat and help control the odor that results from it, rather than eliminate perspiration entirely.

Yes. Apply to clean, dry feet and go.

No. Dryello absorbs quickly and dries clean, so it doesn't leave a residue that would affect fit or traction inside your shoes.

The Antiperspirant Foot Soft Stick is designed to reduce sweat and control odor through the day, including workouts, though very heavy or prolonged sweating may call for reapplication.

Yes.

It depends on what you're dealing with. The Athlete's Foot Stick treats and prevents fungal infection; the Antiperspirant Foot Soft Stick controls sweat and odor. See how they fit into a daily routine.

Each ingredient has a specific role in the Athlete's Foot Treatment Stick:

• Tolnaftate 1%: The active antifungal ingredient. It treats athlete's foot by stopping fungal growth and, when used daily as directed, helps prevent it from returning.
• Stearyl alcohol and behenyl behenate: Give the stick its firm shape and smooth glide.
• Cyclopentasiloxane and C12-15 alkyl benzoate: Help the formula feel lightweight and non-greasy.
• Arrowroot powder, aluminum hydroxide, and magnesium aluminum silicate: Help absorb sweat and keep the powders evenly distributed throughout the stick.
• Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate: Help neutralize odor.
• Magnesium sulfate: Adds structure and supports the formula.
• Orange peel oil: Adds natural fragrance.
• Tocopheryl acetate: A vitamin E derivative that helps keep the oils stable.

Tolnaftate 1% is an antifungal active included in FDA's OTC monograph for topical antifungal drug products.
