How Can Athlete S Foot Be Treated?
I am 6 weeks pregnant and I have athletes foot between one toe on my right foot. I usually use clotrimazole 1% and have for the last couple days, but I read some articles that say it s safe and some that say it isn t. I of course don t want to continue using it if it will hurt my baby, but also want this to clear up so it doesn t get infected. Is it safe?
