Stop using the : Tinactin, clean it off, take oral benadryl (diphenhydramine). You can apply a topical steroid cream, though you are limited in strength without a prescription.

Steroid creams: Clean the tinactin (tolnaftate) off. A steroid cream will help reduce the allergic reaction. Anti-histamines will decrease the itch and redness from the reaction.
