Hi I ve been suffering from athletes feet for 5 weeks now, one doctor has prescribed me Fluconazole 200mg for 20 days. I have spoken all of it but are still suffering from athletes feet. I ve also been soaking in apple cider vinegar for 3 weeks as well, the vinegar helps but it s not going away. Any suggestions

It can best be treated by local application of Terbinafine cream, in all the inter-digital web spaces both feet, applied twice a day. Please see that your feet are not kept wet for long time. Sweat in the web spaces will delay healing. You may have to apply the cream for about 6 to 8 weeks or more for complete resolution of the fungal infection.
