1. Topical antifungal medications such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and terbinafine should be used as directed by a doctor. They need to be applied for four weeks, 1-2 times a day.
It is recommended to continue using the medication for an additional two weeks after the rash has healed, following the doctor's instructions.
2. Apply the topical medication to a larger area around the rash, not just on the affected area. The surrounding skin that appears normal may also be infected with the fungus, so it is important to apply the medication to a wider area.
3. If the symptoms are severe or the topical treatment is ineffective, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed by a doctor.
In addition to medication, it is important to take preventive measures to avoid infection.
This includes keeping the feet dry, wearing breathable shoes and socks, regularly washing the feet .
