What Is The Treatment For Fungus On Feet?
Hi,
I have tried different medications to treat the fungus on my feet, but nothing has worked. Please help. My feet are usually dry during day but as soon as I enter an ac room my foot starts to smell really bad. Does dettol help? If not what else can I use to stop this.

Hi
See any fungal infection anywhere over the body needs to be treated with both oral and topical antifungals, according to the severity of the infection.
Dettol surely does not help in the same.
Do not use it.
You can try application of an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream over the affected area twice a day.
If it does not help, then you will need to see a dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment.
