Athletes foot keep dry or moisturised?

Well...: You will need an antifungal lotion or cream to apply to your feet. Athlete's foot is a fungus and fungus likes dark, warm, moist places.....So you need to keep your feet dry to prevent further problems. Wear cotton socks to help wick moisture away from your foot, change shoes and sock if thy become wet. Use powder to absorb moisture.

Antifungal medicine: Is what is needed. Keeping skin dry between the toes is important. Chronic athlete's foot can make the skin appear dry, but moisturizers don't work.
