"cure" is : Qualified. You can clear up an athlete's foot infection with an antifungal, but some people are prone to recurrence. In fact, one fungus has been shown to have a genetic tendency. A common mistake is people use an antifungal for a few days and stop when it looks all better, but fungal spores live 30 days, so you need to keep using it for 30 days.

It could be...: Athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well. Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.
