Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It is possible that you have an athlete'S foot which later got infected and hence you have developed a bacterial infection too.
Tinactin is also an anti fungal but better medicines are available now.
Following will be the best line of treatment.
Apply clotrimazole ointment in night and sleep.
In morning apply clotrimazole powder.
In evening apply mupirocine cream.
Use this combination for 15 days.
You will get good relief.
