Suggest Treatment For Athlete S Foot

I have been to 2 different Dr s with my right foot. I tested positive for Athletes foot. I was treated but it never got better. I have been on 2 different pills and creams. The last Dr that I went to said I did not test positive for the fungus but he gave me a 30 day prescription of Lamisil and more creams. This stuff will not go away. My heals are cracking and they hurt. Now it is going to my toes....if I tested negative for fungus, what else could this be? Please helph

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Athlete's foot is known for recurrence. Hence, maintaining good hygiene of foot is extremely important.
Kindly use a good soap and warm water to wash your stockings. You may rinse them with antiseptic solution as well.
Take care of your foot hygiene by:
1. Rinsing the foot thoroughly usine warm water and antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine, twice daily.
2. Apply anti-fungal cream containing Clotrimazole after trying.
3. Avoid sweating in the area by applying Clotrimazole dusting powder over it.
4. Try avoid wearing shoes for long duration. See that you ventilate the foot intermittently.
Gradually, your symptoms should improve and get better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
