Specializes in Podiatry

Athletes foot: Antibiotics are used only if a secondary infection is present otherwise anti fungal medication would be used like otc lamia ok or a gold bond. A prescription strength can be used which can be prescribed by your podiatrist.

Antifungal: Athletes foot is caused by a fungal infection so needs to be treated with a antifungal. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. A topical antifungal cream like Lamisil (terbinafine) or lotrimin should work. Also buy some antifungal spray powder and put it in your shoes once a week to prevent reoccurrence as this is the source of the infection.
