Is medication what is best for athletes foot?

Partly: Topical medications such as Lamisil (terbinafine) are helpful in treating athletes foot. This should be performed in combination with good foot hygiene. If topical medications don't work, oral medications can be used.

Athletes feet: treatment can include a variety of natural and prescription based medications. Patients have great results with either. I recommend using both in tough cases.

No one and only..: More than likely, if there was a best one, then it would probably be the only one on the market. All of them do a pretty good job. The effectiveness goes up with starting early and maintaining the prescription directions for the recommended length of time.
