Question 1

what are some antibiotic options for athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Athletes foot: Antibiotics are used only if a secondary infection is present otherwise anti fungal medication would be used like otc lamia ok or a gold bond. A prescription strength can be used which can be prescribed by your podiatrist.

Question 2

does triple antibiotic work on athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

No: You need an antifungal like clotrimizole creme, you have an antibacterial creme.

Question 3

docs, what's a good strong athletes foot cream?

Accepted Answer

To start with...: The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Socks should be a synthetic material like those manufactured by thorlo [http://www.Thorlo.Com/]. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well.  Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.

Question 4

is there a good way to get rid of what i think is athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

OTC cream: There aare many over the counter creams such as lotrimine af to treat athletes foot, but to be sure it's athletes foot you should be diagnosed by your local foot doc.

Question 5

can you name me a super good product to get rid of athletes foot on a guy?

Accepted Answer

Variety of products: Most topical antifungals will work on athlete's foot if use properly. My favorite is a product that contains Lamisil (terbinafine). The problem with athelete's foot is that it usually returns. Use topical as needed. Keep it handy for reoccurrence.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

is there a good cure for bad athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Tinea : Caled tinier pedis and you can try otc meds but is severe see podiatrist for rx medication. Avoid wearing same shoes everyday, they need to dry out.

Question 8

what are good home remediesfor athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Disinfect shoes: Spray some lysol or other disinfectant in shoes after you wear them and let them dry out.  Avoid wearing them 2 days in a row.  Pull out any inserts in the shoes and allow them to dry out as well.  We sometimes will focus on treating the infection on the foot but forget that we need to avoid re-infecting our foot in the shoes that we wear.

Question 9

is it a good idea to use lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra on a non athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

What's that?: If by "non athletes foot" you mean a foot without a fungal infection, then there's no reason to use an anti fungal medication.  But if you mean a fungal infection in a non-athlete, then yes, it's ok.

Question 10

hi floucinonide cream is really good cream medicine to athletes foot or not., thanks?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms: Yes, it's appropriate to treat some symptoms of athlete's foot, but it does not treat the pathology (fungi infection).   It will reduce redness and itchyness to the feet, but the fungus may still be present.  Good luck.
