I contracted athlete's foot somehow, and was completely unaware of it until the pain I felt between my toes suddenly went from a fissure to a bleeding crack. I went on a power walk and came back to find my sock completely soaked in blood and the fissure going almost all the way around my toe. I have had athlete's foot in the past, when I practiced karate in the dojo, which requires you to be barefoot. I guess that because of the fact I suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), I am more prone to foot fungus due to constantly moist, sweaty feet. I also live in South Florida, where sweaty feet and sweating altogether are a reality, and I exercise, so I guess it was bound to eventually happen. As soon as this happened, I went on to Amazon, ordered this cream, and got it 2 days later. The pain and itching are now subsiding, 3 days later. I thought I was done with the cream but I felt itchiness between my toes again this morning so I reapplied it. Better safe than sorry. I was putting it on once a day but thought I was cured. I guess getting rid of a fungus isn't an overnight process, but I have been able to continue my power walks without issue, and can walk again, whereas before, I was crippled from the cracking. I am coupling this treatment with an anti-fungal foot wash, and spraying my shoes with tineacide. I am hoping to be cured for good soon but if not, this cream is affordable enough that I can buy it again, it's just a nuisance to deal with cracking skin. My other anti-fungal cream was only 1% miconazole, whereas this one is 2%. To me, that was very important, I wanted the highest dose to be cured faster. Other creams on Amazon only contain 1% too, so I think this is a good, stronger choice.
