Any suggestions for dealing with the foot of the athlete?
Local drug store sells a generic tube of something with clotrimazole for about a dollar, but Lamisil is $15 or so.
Is Lamisil a rip-off?
Also-- someone suggested just bathing the foot in hydrogen peroxide. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Lamisil is terbinafine—any generic cream with the same chemical will be just as effective as the name-brand. One thing that's worked really well with me for fungal stuff on my skin (athlete's foot, also "ringworm" on my skin elsewhere) is just walking around outside with the area exposed to the air and the sunlight. The only reason fungus can grow is because it's in a warm, moist, and dark area. Of course it's a little inconsiderate to do that with something on your feet if you're walking where OTHER people also walk barefoot...but I'll leave that up to you. Otherwise terbinafine works alright, but you gotta remember to apply it very consistently, and it can take a while to work.
I had the worst Athlete's Foot EVER and tried every cure out there, but this guys book available at byebyefungi.com changed my life. With one item found in any grocery store mixed with Distilled Water, my Athlete's Foot was gone in a few days, best $ I ever spent!

Obviously spam. I'm not sure what their solution is,
but don't waste your money because its probably similar to this: (which works)
mix some water with white vinegar (or just use vinegar straight). Soak your feet in the mixture 30 minutes a day. Will eventually fix the problem. For nail fungus, it can take 6 months+ because the nail must grow out.
