I seem to have athletes foot just on top of my foot? Right above my toes and on the tops of my toes, not between my toes. Im fairly certain someone else gave me the athletes foot (my girlfriend) while we were in bed. Is this fairly normal to happen? What are the best ways to get rid of it? Right now ive been using the spray and washing/powdering my feet and shoes. Thanks guys

As a healthcare provider I can tell you it is possible to get it anywhere on your feet. It is a fungus that is easy to catch. It needs a warm,dark,moist place to grow. Tennis shoes are notorious for this to happen....they are enclosed and people usually sweat in them, so you can see how it works. You are doing what you should. Truthfully, the same fungus that causes athlete's foot is the one that causes jock itch. It just has a different name because its in a different place. This fungus can grow on skin anywhere....if it's moist, dark and warm. The same medicine works. It's normal...and what you're doing is all you can do. Sad to say! It is possible...especially on the toes.

I think the best thing to use is the neosporin athlete's foot cream and also foot powder in your shoes...it keeps out the moisture. so what you're doing is good. Yes, and behind the knees, and in the creases of the elbows. See a doctor for the best treatment. Depending on the severity, he may say to use OTC remedies, or give you a prescription. There is also the possibility that he will tell you it's something else entirely. Yes.
