Not the mild case, Mine had the lesions and liquid oozing out. Stinked real bad.
What worked…
What did not work.
PS
Remember to wash your foot after the “foot Apple Cider spa”
Might be time for an oral anti-fugal pill. Keep shoes off and feet in the sun as much as you can. Dry your feet off with a hair dryer, using a towel can spread the infection to other areas. If using a towel use it once then wash it.
IIRC, I believe that’s an APPLE CIDER VINEGAR bath. (Different from Apple cider.).
Ok. I had athletes foot. I tried everything under the sun to “cure” it.
What worked best ? Peeing in the shower on my feet. It’s gross but works like a charm.
I only had one really bad case that couldn’t be killed by anything. Tried over the counter stuff. Got some topical cream from the doctor. Tried peeing and other folk cures. The only thing that worked came from a random comment on the internet, so no more authority than I, but nothing else was working, so…
Zinc based diaper cream from the baby isle of any grocery or drug store. Messy, smells like baby, but it works.
If I had athletes foot that bad I’d be making a trip to the doctor.

This!
Wear 100% wool socks ALL the time. Thick ones if it’s cold in the winter and thin ones in the summer. The wool will pull the moisture, which the fungus needs to live, away from your skin.
Stop being an athlete?
White vinegar works too. Buy the huge bottle for $1.99 at the grocery. Put a cup of vinegar in 2 cups hot water and soak feet for 20 minutes or so. My heel lesions went away in 2 weeks doing this, and now I do it every couple of weeks to make sure nothing returns. Plus, it just feels good to have a nice warm foot soak before bed, even if it does smell like vinegar.
I also tried rubbing coconut oil on my feet and then covering with socks to wear to bed. Since I did this immediately after the vinegar soaks, I can’t say if it helped, but the skin on my feet got very soft! Coconut oil is supposed to be a natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial supplement.

Yup. I didn’t believe it would work…but, it does.

And changing your socks a couple times a day. That’s why most homeless people have athletes foot, they never change their socks.
