I've had it on and off for about six months and previous to that. I'm prone to fungal infections. I didn't realise this is what it is at first - I have itchy toes and feeling like my toes are hot and sore after I've been walking for any length of time. When I realised it was athletes foot I bought an otc cream to use. Is there anything I can do to get rid off it and hopefully stop it coming back?
