On my left foot, between the little toe, and the next larger toe, I have a fungus, that I picked up in Cebu, Philippines, and I have been treating it since about the middle of January until now, and canpt quite get rid of it. I have been using 1% Tolnaftate.. Is there anything better, over the counter?

Hello,
The anti-fungal medications in form of either Fluconazole (200 mg) or terbinafine (250 mg) will require prescription of doc for suggested period of times. Till that time, continue to keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid and apply tolnaftate cream regularly. Avoid walking bare foot.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
