When trying to get rid of it, how thorough are you with repeatedly disinfecting things, e.g. shower floors, shoes, socks? How long does it really linger on dry surfaces? Also, how important is it and how through does one have to be with washing and drying feet before applying topical medication, especially in a time crunch when away from home?
When you're away from home, can you pack a small blow dryer and use it on a cool setting to dry your feet? (assuming you're showering at the gym or something like that) If you're at work and you need to wash your feet, get a pack of diaper wipes or personal care wipes and use those. Hand sanitizer might also do the trick and it dries fast, but it could be very painful depending on how open the rash is.
I've never had athlete's foot but I've had problems with other fungal rashes and allowing the area to dry completely several times a day is a key part of getting rid of the rash.
Try various anti fungals both oral and ointments like tonsonate ,Orally - oil of oragano, coconut oil ( organic),
Olive leaf and or Silver Sol ( 1tsp bid X 6 days) .

Oil of oregano works really well...dilute it in olive oil and apply topically. You will smell like a pizza but it gets the job done. You can also treat yeast infections with it...soak a tampon with the diluted oil of oregano mix and insert.
Update: It has now spread to my hands (!!!!!). I guess I have a really aggressive case, though I have been treating my feet every day and it seems controlled there. What's next - I get jock itch and onychomycosis too? I've bought ALL the Fungicure out of several local stores. If this keeps spreading there is no way I can buy enough to cover such large areas of my body twice a day. As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a 16 oz or 32 oz bottle of the stuff!!!
For those recommending tea tree oil and others, how can I get enough to cover large areas of my body without the costs running into the hundreds or thousands of dollars, assuming this keeps spreading?
