A member asked:

Hi i have these red dots on my toes i thought it could be athletes foot or ringworm so i tried to used use anti fungal powder, cream, spray and nothing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: Insect bites, allergic reaction, eczema, or other form of dermatitis. How long have you had this. Does it itch? Try Hydrocortisone cream. If this is ineffective, see podiatrist or dermatologist.

Can you use any anti fungal stuff on any fungal infection? For example: could the spray you use on athletes foot be used to cure another fungal infection such as thrush?
