Suggest Better Treatment For Athlete S Foot
Hi, my husband s athlete s foot has gotten alot worse since he started swimming a couple of weeks ago. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the middle of Feb, but has it under good control, averaging 80-90 levels with just his morning dose of slow-acting insulin, and he s been eating very healthy and exercising everyday. He s been treating the athlete s foot (left foot only) recently with Tinactin at night and Desenex powder during the day. Could the chlorinated pool water be making things alot worse?

Kerp the area dry and try Lamisil cream.
Maybe take a break from swimming until it clears up.
You can get this cream without a prescription.
good luck.
