Question 1

how do i cure athletes foot and how long does it take to fully recover?

Accepted Answer

Be preventative : You can keep on top of athletes foot by checking your feet everyday.  Make sure that you dry in between your toes. If you see red dots on the bottom of your feet or scaly areas make sure you start applying an anti fungal cream.  Do not use a cream in between toes since this just adds to the moisture.  If you are having difficulty seeing results see your local podiatrist.

Question 5

whats the best cure for athlete's foot?

Accepted Answer

Lamisil: It is hard to diagnose athletes foot without a picture or a visit.  If you do have an infection caused by a fungus then I would recommend trying Lamisil AT cream for 2 weeks.  If this does not cure the itching and redness by the end of two weeks then you need to see a Podiatrist who can give you a prescription for another medication.  
Keeping the skin dry can also help.

Question 10

what is a good way to cure athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Topical Antifungal: Athlete's foot responds well to topical treatment, many of which can be procured over the counter. It is important that you apply the medication twice daily to clean and dry feet. Because you mention between the toe, apply a thin sparingly layer to these areas and allow them to dry well before putting on socks and shoes. Ask your pharmacist to direct you to the topical athlete's foot creams.
