It depends...: ...On the severity. If you have blisters and cracking, and the peeling rash extends across the entire sole of your foot, it could take several weeks for full improvement. If it's just a mild case, using a medication daily may clear it up in less than a month.

Generally 2-4 weeks: The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Socks should be a synthetic material (i know i'll take heat for this) like those manufactured by thorlo [http://www.Thorlo.Com/]. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well. Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent in your home overnight.
