Hi,

If there is athlets foot,there is possibility of ringworm infection .... fungal infection on feet and hands. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream and to take antifungal like tab ketoconazole 200 mg daily for few weeks. Avoid soap bath.

Hope this helps.
