Hello
Thank you for contacting HCM.

First and very important thing that you need to take care of is that you need to keep your foot DRY else it will not heal in any case. You can take Clotrimazole 1% & Hydrocortisone 1% cream and apply between your fingers. It will take 3-4 weeks to resolve but may prolong if you do not take care. For itching you can take cetrizine before going to bed.

Get Well soon.
Thank You
