Dryello™ by Propedix: Redefining Athlete’s Foot Treatment

Innovative Athlete’s Foot Relief in a Dry Stick Format

Dryello is a breakthrough over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for tinea pedis (commonly known as athlete’s foot), developed by Propedix to address a longstanding problem with conventional therapies: moisture & messiness.

Unlike traditional creams, sprays, and powders, Dryello is the first-ever dry stick antifungal (1% tolnaftate)—a mess-free, easy-to-use format that applies like a deodorant stick, goes on dry, and stays dry. This proprietary delivery system not only can improve compliance and convenience but also addresses the conditions in which fungal infections thrive.

Why a Dry Stick?

Fungal infections such as athlete’s foot flourish in moist, warm environments—especially between the toes. While most antifungals focus on eradicating fungus, few address the underlying moisture that contributes to recurrence. Dryello’s unique dry stick formulation allows for precise application without adding moisture, helping both treat and prevent athlete’s foot.

How Dryello Works

Dryello combines the proven antifungal power of tolnaftate 1% with a revolutionary dry stick vehicle:

  • Tolnaftate 1% reduces the growth and reproduction of fungal cells, eliminating the fungus and preventing it from spreading.
  • Our dry, no-mess easy to use stick goes on dry and stays dry while treating the fungus. Because the less moisture there is, the less likely the fungus to grow.
  • Using 2 full sticks of Dryello over 30 days as instructed gets rid of Athlete’s Foot and its symptoms, and prevents it from coming back with regular use.

Clinically Tested

In a recent clinical study evaluating tolnaftate 1% delivered via Dryello’s proprietary dry stick formulation:

  • 90% of patients who used Dryello in our clinical study were cured of Athlete’s Foot in 4 weeks*
  • 89% of patients who used Dryello in our clinical study experienced less sweaty feet*

Designed by a Physician, Inspired by Personal Experience

Dryello was developed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Carl Schanbacher, who, as both a physician and a Athlete’s Foot Sufferer, recognized the shortcomings of existing treatments. His vision was simple: create a clean, dry, and portable solution to help people manage and prevent athlete’s foot with confidence and ease.

The Problem: Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)

Athlete’s foot is a common and persistent fungal infection affecting approximately 50 million Americans.*

Characterized by itching, redness, and cracked skin, this condition often recurs, as the fungus thrives in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, showers, and sweaty shoes. Despite frequent treatments, many individuals experience recurring bouts of athlete’s foot, underscoring the need for effective and convenient solutions. Dryello offers a powerful, easy-to-apply dry stick formula designed to target the root of the infection and help prevent future flare-ups, keeping feet healthy and comfortable year-round.
