How Can Persistent Athlete S Foot Infection Be Treated?

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PERSISTENT AND SPREADING ATHLETES FOOT INFECTION. I have been treated in the past with internal lavishly with some success twice but I have never been able to get rid of it especially in my groin. This has been going on for three years now and the fungus on my feet and groin has built a resistance to tolfanate clotrimazole and lamisI ll. I AM worried about running out of options and further aggressive spreading of this fungus.

Hi,

Superficial fungal infections can become chronic, but rarely can they be deepened; So you do not have to worry about that.

The aggressor agent is not so much the problem, but that there are favourable conditions for fungi to continue proliferating. Keep feet dry at all times. Change socks frequently.

If it is possible to use formaldehyde to place on the soles of your shoes and not use them for 3 days, then re-use the shoes. After the bath, dry your feet with an exclusive towel for them.

And finally, go to a dermatologist to take samples of your skin to determine if there are fungi, what kind of fungus is causing the disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
