A member asked:

I've had a foot fungus for six months now. i've tried 2 types of steriod creams and a prescription anti-fungal cream. what else can i do?

Foot fungus: Tinea pedis should respond to topical antifungal creams. Toenail fungus or onychomycosis requires systemic oral pill therapy as sometimes does resistant athlete's foot.

Talk to your doctor: You may need an oral antifungal. You need to discuss this with your doctor.

See answer: Steroids actually make fungal infections worse, so stop them if you haven't already. Your diabetes may also be a factor, especially if it is not well-controlled. You may also need to have a culture taken of the fungus. This would show which medications it would be most sensitive to. Best to follow-up with your doctor to discuss options.
