There is effective cure, but it may take about 3 to 4 months for complete cure. 1. Please keep the feet dry. Avoid moisture of the feet. Even sweating of feet should be avoided. 2. Good foot care, keeping it clean and dry, open foot wear if possible is important. 3. Local application of anti-fungal ointment Terbinafine, twice a day till complete cure. 4. Scrapings of the fungus can be sent for culture and sensitivity tests and oral antifungals taken for 3 weeks.
