I use Propolis creme. Aloe Vera and Bee Propolis. Used it for years and it works a treat.

Actually the cream is better (nurse and a pharmacist initially told me this and I agree after using both) as it can be directed to the infected areas.
Also, once you have it, it can re-occur later. Prevention is a must. Dry feet thoroughly. Spray/apply cream once every so often to the feet and where you can, try to leave socks and shoes off for a bit after washing.

Lavender oil is very good if you mix it in a bit of aqueous cream. I had to do it a couple of years back and my toes were clear within a week.

Yup, I prefer the spray to the cream because it's quick and easy to apply. Not that the cream takes long but a quick squirt when putting on socks is easier, and thus more likely, than applying cream and washing hands.
Talc has a strange effect on me, as it makes me sweat profusely. Whether used on the feet, under arms or in more, ahem, intimate areas, talc makes me really damp. I found this from using it to help donning wetsuits for sailing and windsurfing, in case anyone wonders what strange fetish might have led to me realising.

My 90 year old Dad occasionally suffers very badly from this, a hangover from his days as a miner. Very common among miners.
He struggles to treat it himself because of other injuries so I got to know this inside out, so to speak.
Firstly, and it's not widely known, Daktarin comes in two strengths. If standard struggling to get rid of it ask for the stronger one.
Secondly, miners swore by the use of surgical spirit for the worst cases. Undiluted on cotton wool swabs and wiped everywhere it itches and a bit further. Several times a day. Seems a bit vicious but it seems to work.
I accept no liability, do your own research, yada yada.
