Following treatment will help you Wash foot thoroughly by warm water and antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine, twice daily. Tablet of terbinafine for 4-6 weeks. Apply clotrimazole cream twice daily for 4-6 weeks. Tablet cetrizine at bed time if itching Avoid sweating in the area by applying clotrimazole powder Avoid wearing shoes for long duration Kindly use a good soap and warm water to wash your stockings Drink plenty of water and eat healthy diet Hope this may help you
