General Surgeon,  's  Response
The fungal infection can be treated with an anti-fungal cream like Terbinafine applied on the site twice a day. Please avoid wearing closed foot wear. Open footwear will avoid sweating and help resolve the fungal infection faster. Please wear a thin cotton socks with the footwear, which will protect the foot from dust and absorb the sweat.
