Have Athletes Foot, Blisters. Given Lamisil, Lotrimin And Neosporin. Will Tea Tree Oil Help?
I went to the dr 3 weeks ago and he gave me lamisil for what seems to be athletes foot. I put lotrimin af on it for 3 weeks and seems to be getting worse still. I started putting lotrimin ultra on it and still taking the lamisil daily but no relief. I now have blisters on top of my feet and around my ankles and have puss coming out of them constantly. I wash and dry my feet and apply the lotrimin atleast twice a day. Would neosporin be good to put on them? Would tea tree oil help?

Hi,
It appears that along with fungal infection you develpoed some secondary bacterial infection as well.
Complete the oral medicine of Lamisil tablets.
Go for one course of antibiotic to control secondary bacterial infection.
For few days apply antibiotic cream like Neosporin.
I do not recommend tree tea oil.
Keep local part clean and dry.
Ok and take care.
