A member asked:

I am using ketoconazole for athletes foot. my skin peeled off from left and ajacent toe. how much time will ketoconazole take to restore my skin back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weeks: Medication for fungus infection works slowly, so use for several weeks is the minimum, and use for several weeks beyond clearing is recommended to prevent a recurrence from incomplete treatment.

I've had on off itching underneath my last 3 toes on my left foot. There does seem to be shedding of a layer of skin under those three. Could it be the early stages of athletes foot? No rashes. Could go a day with no itchiness sometimes.
