Athlete's feet. How to get rid of it?
I have tried almost all medicines available and nothing!
 
Go to the doctor.

One tip I learned in high school P.E. Put your socks on before you put your underwear on. Athletes feet can be spread to your underwear and become a bad case of jock itch.

You may be re-infecting yourself. Are you going to a gym or other shared shower area?
 
Get rid of your old shoes in case they are harbouring the fungus. Wash your feet with daily with antibacterial soap. Dry your feet thoroughly and wear absorbent cotton socks. Make sure your bathroom floor and shower are are clean, as you could pick up athlete's foot from it. Lotromin cream is good for stubborn cases.
 
Have you been on prescription creams? Also, are you sure its just athlete's foot and that there isn't another rash mixed in with it?

Wear 100% cotton socks, change then when you get home from work, keep your feet dry, dry, dry. There is oral medication when all else fails. See your doc.
 
Wash feet x2 day.(at least)
Dry using hair dryer.
Talc between toes
Change socks x 2 day(at least)
Alternate shoes daily (at least)

I do that, put my shoes and socks in the sun, clean my bathroom floor with bleach, etc.
 
Lamisil is also good.

Your doctor can prescribe something stronger. I had a really tough infection (jock itch, but it's probably the same fungus), and my doctor prescribed Econazole, which is more powerful than over-the-counter stuff.

And keep your feet dry. Fungi love moisture!

My ol' man said to pee on your feet. But then again that's his remedy for jelly fish stings (you know, the infamous Lake Michigan jelly fish,) bee stings, poison ivy but not poison oak (go figure,) and a host of others.
 
Although I hate them, there is a good argument for wearing what Americans call (I think) "shower slippers" (or what Aussies call rubber thongs) in gym showers and saunas. They do help minimise the chance of getting fungal foot diseases.

Once you do get rid of the fungus, follow the advice given above. Coming from the tropics as I do, we have a constant battles with fungal infections. The most important things to do are to thoroughly dry between your toes, and use an antifungal powder. Usually, you can use this powder in your shoes as well.

I know it is difficult in the middle of a Michigan winter or whatever, but wearing sandals (with no socks) is also a good way of allowing you feet to breathe.
 
I ended up soaking my foot in pure bleach for as long as I could stand my foot in it. Perhaps 10 minutes. It went away and I've never had it since, that was 10 years ago and I had been a persistent case of athletes foot for 4-5 years. I doubt any doctor would reccomend that but I was just crazy with the problem I decided it was worth the risk.
 
I agree with RichardOdessa. Soak your feet in a bleach solution. IT does the job when commercial ointments and sprays fail.
 
If you were in the states, I would recommend Lamasil Cream AF. After applying for a week, usually kills the fungus. It is OTC (over the counter) here in the states now, but a bit spendy, but know it works and works very well.
 
We use Mycota here in .za, as either powder (crap), spray or cream (good).

Not sure if it's the same as Lamisil, but it contains zinc undecenoate and undecenoic acid as active ingredients and it works like a charm.

If the gym/sauna is in your building, perhaps discuss with other residents about putting down rubber mats in there? My new gym (Planet Fitness) has rubber mats everywhere that the old gym didn't - basically, the corridor leading from the locker room area to the shower and steamroom, throughout the shower area and in the steamroom itself - and I haven't had to use my Mycota since I changed to the new gym back in November of 2004. Perhaps it's just cleaner at the new place, but the old place (Virgin Active) wasn't exactly dirty.

As tempting as this may be, I've seen it cause terrible red swollen feet, blistery and bloody. The guy I knew was limping from it. I think a trip to your doctor would be a better idea.
 
Go see a dermatologist. Naftin gel cleared up my infection in two weeks. Please don't try bleach... although a milder solution is a good way to kill the fungus in your tub and elsewhere so you do not reinfect yourself.
