Not a good idea: There are several antifungal agents available over the counter at any local drug department. They are located in the skin care section.The pharmacist or a tech can assist you if you find too many to pick from.Twice a day use for a week or two will treat most, unless your assumption is wrong and it is something else.Er's are for emergencies and full of people with contagious illness.Beware.
