Yes: Good hygeine, soak in dilute tea. Go to the drug store and buy an over the counter antifungal cream.

Try vinegar: 1:4 ratio of white vinegar to warm water minimally 3x weekly may help. Vinegar is a natural anti-fungal, anti-microbial and keratolytic.

Keep clean/dry: Athlete's foot occurs because of excessive moisture/warmth in-between the toes areas allowing the fungus to grow and cause trouble. Mild disease can resolve on its own if one is able to keep areas clean, dry; and high-heat dry out of shoes prevents recurrence. Cleansing with rubbing alcohol may help. Otc meds such as Lamisil (terbinafine) cream can help. If persistent, consult doc for an evaluation/treatment.
