A member asked:
What can be done to cure athletes foot, and how long will it take?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Antifungal cream: Use an antifungal cream such as lamisil (terbinafine). Should take about 2 weeks depending on how severe it is.

Antifungal Cream: Most over-the-counter antifungal creams will clear athletes foot in a week or two if you wash and dry thoroughly and apply faithfully. If it doesn't respond, see a podiatrist. You may have a mixed infection requiring antibiotics as well.
