Suggest Medication For Athletes Foot

i cant afford to go see a doctor about my athletes foot. i've been having it since the end of january and it has gotten worse. i used tinactin and it went away but it came back even bigger. then i used clear nail polish, at first i thought it was beginning to work, but my skin slowly kept scaling off. and now i read that soaking my foot in vinegar and water will help get rid of it. i aslo read that baking soda will work too. so im trying it out if it works. suggestion?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Athletes foot is caused by fungus. You should keep your foot moist free. Anti fungal creams and ointments like terbinafine will be helpful. But if it is not improving you may need oral terbinafine or grisiofulvin therapy.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
