Can you use thrush cream on athletes foot?

according to the website thrush cream is 2% of the active ingredient, and the athletes foot cream is 1%, does that mean the thrush cream is too strong? I have a huge tube and really dot want to go out and spend more money if the thrush cream will do

canesten do also make an athlete's foot cream I think - or they used to.

Their are different types of atheletes foot, remember thrush is a yeast and atheletes foot is a fungas they are different organisms. But some patients report success with canesten.

I'm a podiatrist and I always reccomend surgical spirit swabbed on the area twice a day. Much cheaper.
