"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.
