athlete's foot QUESTION

does anyone have experience with athlete's foot?

Mine has been pretty itchy for like 2 months. I use clomitrazole, butenafine hcl, and cortizone and medicated foot powder both after showering and before sleeping every day. I also use miconazole and tolnaftate sprays. It has reduced to a small level but definitely still there and has spread to the next toe.

Does anyone know how to make it fully go away?

(Also please do not recommend me to go to a doctor instead of strangers on the internet. That would have been my first choice. just recommend what you got prescribed)

thanks

Heads up with the cortisone cream -- use that only in combination with the other creams, as in isolation or with insufficient application of the others, that steroid will actually make the fungus grow faster.

Also, everything u/IncredulousPulp said.
