Hello Irene, my husband, like yours has a terrible problem with athletes foot & until recently treat it himself but it got so bad he had to go to the doctor's who gave him antibiotics and cream etc., To cut a long story short, the treatment didn't work & John had to go back to the surgery where one of the nurses took over with the treatment. He has to go everyday for the nurse to dress the wound (it's got that bad!) but I'm happy to report that the treatment is working, although the nurse has said it's going to take about a month to clear. John has had Fucibet & Daktacort cream applied every day, plus skin scrapings that have been sent away to be analysed. It seems that in John's case a bacteria that lives on the skin has got into the wound and caused this horrible problem - the swelling and terrible pain. I do hope that this has been of some help to you & that your husband goes back to the doctor's and gets the same superb treatment John is getting. Good Luck, Regards, Linda.

my husbands Athletes foot is very bad, it is more like an open wound between and under his two toes, he has already been to the docters who gave him antibiotics and cream, which didnt work. he bathes his feet and thoughrely dries them every evening when he comes home from work, he has tried every cream and powder that can be bought in the chemist, and as he is a tradesman who is on his feet all day (carpenter) it is very swollen & painful is there anything you can suggest before it gets worse and all his foot gets infected.

thank you Mrs Irene Kale
