Antifungals: If it is mild try nonprescription antifungals like clotrimazole (Lotrimin), miconazole (Micatin), terbinafine (Lamisil), or tolnaftate (Tinactin). Use as directed. Severe cases will require oral antifungals like fluconazol which is a prescription medication

Antifungal: You may benefit with a topical or an oral anti-fungal medication depending on the severity if it indeed is an athletes foot infection. Make sure to dry well between the toes after your shower or bath.

Antifungal cream: Athlete's foot or tinea pedis is best treated with RX cream. Usually the "tough actin' tinactin" spray is not strong enough to permanently kill the fungus.
