A member asked:

Is the anti-fungal cream in vagisil also good for athlete's foot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Medications for athlete's foot have an antifungal to address the fungal infection caused by this condition. Vagisil is benzocaine, a topical anesthestic that relieves the symptoms of the yeast infection.
