athletes foot
so i think i have athletes foot, but its not that bad i guess... anyway, i tried tinactin for a while and it didnt work, and then i left for summer vacation and when i came back i tried it again for a while and it didnt help. should i just hope it heals in time (its been like at least 6 months) or should i see a doctor or try another kind of medication?

Doctor visit is called for - I agree with the others here. Lotramin is great stuff and works. But...remember to keep the shower stall or bathtub disinfected as well. Wash out the bathmat EVERY time you step on it with bare feet. It's miserable to have a.foot but worse if you pass it along to someone else - guilt trips! Ugly things! Worse even than a.foot! UGH!

Ahh good ole Tinea Pedis, its an annoying thing I know. I went to my doctor and she told me to use Lotramin cream. Remember it takes about a month of treatment before it goes away. If it is very persistent after that you can get prescribed to you a pill that kills Tinea from the inside out. Usually its used for ringworm itself, but since they are the same thing... Best advice for while you have it, keep your feet clean and dry, don't use the same washcloth twice, and sleep in a cotton sock. It will take an adjustment on you typical rituals but I'm sure you will live...
