I agree with this ...it was the only one that worked for me...it has never came back in nearly ten years.

Athletes foot is a fungal infection (so is thrush, that is why canistan works), if you do use canistan, keep applying for 2 - 3 weeks after the symptoms clear or it will come back. I used tea tree oil on DD's as hers kept coming back after using normal treatment, applied quite strong for a few weeks, then a daily foot bath with oil in, she has not had it again since (over 10 years ago)

My DH uses tea tree oil and olive oil and that works

Another vote for Lamisil Once. “Once” means once. It forms a sort of coating which the user cannot feel nor see. The one thing to do is to wash the infected area gently when bathing so as not to rub it off.

How do you apply the tea tree oil?

I've used loads of creams and things but Daktarin spray is the one that works for me. Goes on without having slimy gunk between your toes and is discreet enough to use with sandals
