Pregnant women with athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) can be treated with topical antifungal medications, such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream, which help relieve itching caused by the infection. Topical treatments generally carry fewer systemic side effects. During treatment, it is important to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, and to wear well-ventilated footwear whenever possible.
