I've had atheletes feet since I can remember (my feet sweat in summer/fall/spring/winter...lol). I liearned to control it with the cream the doctor was talking about & a gallon of warm water & two cap fulls of Listerine. Just dump it in there & soak ur feet. It feels good & they'll smell good too!

Hi,
This could be a fungal infection of the skin folds in between the toes called Athlete's foot. It  is a common name given to a fungus infection of the skin that predominately occurs in between toes but can occur anywhere on the foot.

The skin involved may be red, swollen and may contain sticky fluid. Patients may also experience a scaly dry rash on the bottom and sides of feet. Cracks or "fissures" can occur between the toes, sometimes with a accompanied soft white scale.

Fungi thrive on moist, warm environments. Which is why this condition usually occurs in between toes due to an accumulation of moisture.  Conditions such as bruising or cracks in the skin allow entry for the fungus.
People with excessively sweaty feet are more prone to this condition.

The fungal infection is often treated with topical antifungal agents, which can take the form of a spray, powder, cream, or gel. The most common ingredients in over-the-counter products are miconazole nitrate 2% and  tolnaftate 1%.
Wash feet, particularly between the toes, with soap and dry thoroughly after bathing or showering. keep them dry by dusting powder between the toes.
