A member asked:
What is the most effective athletes foot medication cream or spray? is generic fine to buy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Generic is fine: I believe cream are better than spray because of direct contact to the skin. I think the most effective over the counter cream is lamisil (terbinafine). There are also many prescription meds if this does not work.

Both will work: Most topicals, whether cream or spray, will work if used as directed. Generic is fine. The key is to use regularly to get the best results.
