I've had athlete's foot for almost a year now. I tried the OTC stuff but it didnt work. The skin on some of my toes was raw and I have an extremely low pain tolerance so there was NO WAY I was going to stick my feet in vinegar or bleach, it just wasn't gonna happen. Ask your doctor to prescribe you mometasone furoate cream USP, .1% and ketoconazole cream 2%. Mix them together and thoroughly apply to your feet 2 or 3 times a day. I know this isn't natural but it works. I put it on the first night and I woke up the next morning, and it way A LOT better.
