Specializes in Infectious Disease

Athlete's foot: Clotrimazol is Lotrimin, (clotrimazole) OTC. You still have it likely. Switching preparations helps sometimes if there is any fungal resistance. Keep your feet dry. Change your socks several times a day if necessary. Old sneakers should go in the garbage!
