Hello User,
I went through your query,
Now, i understand that you are troubled by the itching that is caused by Athletes foot. It is a very annoying
fungal infection and hence an antifungal medicine may be used to treat the fungus or slow its growth.
So, Monistat cream or
miconazole cream that you have at home can be very effectively used to treat this condition.First clean the area with ater and a mild soap, pat the area dry , and then apply the cream over the affected area
It has been seen that Monistat cream(Miconazole)relieves yeast infection 4 times faster and also starts curing right at the site of infection.
However , since you have not mentioned your sex, it is noteworthy that this cream /pill is not recommended for woman who are pregnant, or taking oral contraceptives pills.
Also this drug should nt be taken if you are taking any
antidiabetic drug.
However, be sure to attend your
dermatologist tomorrow to find out the cause for the same.Ask him/her advice and ways to prevent further occurence of such a condition.
Also, if the condition is very severe , ask your physician if he could precribe you
oral antifungal pills. You should also remember that reoccurence of the condition is very common and hence you should complete the course of the medicine.
If i were your treating physician , i would have preferref Monistat cream over
Terazol as Terazol contains
Terconazole which is generally prescribed for fungal infections of the vagina.
So, as for tonight you can go with Monistat cream keeping in mind about the precautions that i had stated above.
Hope this helps,
