Hi,

Wearing protective foot wear will help, frequent laundering, minimize foot moisture. Topical agents for 1-6 weeks, Daktacort have steroid so take only anti fungal [Naftifine gel 2% for only inter-digital area] or Miconazole alone topical i.e., Monistat is good. Also, once take opinion of a dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
