Keep feet dry: Fungi love moisture. So if you have sweaty feet or constantly exposed to shoes change shoes often and try using powder to keep feet dry to help recurrence of the fungal infection. If the over the counter anti fungal creams do not work for treatment see your doctor. There are other prescription antifungal creams and if severe pills that may work. If does not resolve it may not be a fungus.

See below.: Foot fungus can often be treated with an over-the-counter cream called Lotrimin (clotrimazole) AF. For prevention, you should make sure you are drying your feet well after activities where you are sweating a lot, dry between your toes after showering with a towel and even with a hair dryer set on cool. You can use corn-starch based powder to absorb extra moisture. See your doctor if the above don't work.
