Can athletes foot go away on its own?

No: Athletes foot is a fungus that needs some sort of medication to help eliminate this condition. If otc medications don't help, see your podiatrist.

Rarely.: Athletes foot is a fungal infection of the skin of the feet. It is very common and often becomes chronic spreading to the toenails. If 2 weeks of over the counter remedies are not working, see a podiatrist. Keep feet clean and dry, especially between toes.
