Accepted Answer

Athletes foot cream: Fungus lives all over the place and the feet can easily get reinfected. Shoes can get contaminated and often can help reinfect feet. The over the counter creams like lotrimin, tinactin (tolnaftate) should work etc 
also, if you are treating and it is not going away consider that it may not actually be a fungus. See a doctor if traditional medications are not effective.

Question 2

athlete feet something to help?

Accepted Answer

Several Treatments: You may start with a cream such as clotrimazole 2% or miconazole nitrate.  Also, soaking the feet in 1 gallon of water and 1 cup of acetic acid acts as an astringent and will also treat this condition.  20 minutes will do.  Iodine works but is very messy. Usually the treatment should be for 2 weeks.

Question 8

had athlete feet for 5 years now... how can i cure it?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Athlete's foot is a fungus infection of the skin. The fungus is somewhat contagious, but it is hard to tell how much contact one must have with the fungus before one develops a rash. If the rash spreads to the toenails, the fungus will be much harder to get rid of. To treat the skin rash, people use Lotrimin AF (clotrimazole), an over-the-counter cream that is inexpensive and sold everywhere.
