I have little sticky patches between my fingers, probably a type of tinea.

Regular use of clotrimazole clears it up and I only wash my hands in the shower, use a alcohol based hand sterilizer other times.

But it still comes back.

Any permanant solution?

Have you seen an MD or are you just relying on a public forum?

On fungus you must continue with the anti fungus cream for a long time after it is cleared up. Else it comes back.

I would have doubts if the alcohol based hand sterilizer is a good idea. Because it may removes the protective layer on top of your skin and dries out the skin.

For me it seems washing that part with these fluids made for the private parts of females. They contain lactic acid and must fungus don't like sour....

For some fungus you hardly need a doctor. People who run with every pimple to the doctor is what the universal healthcare in Europe

To treat tinea pedis it's best to do a swab and have it cultured so you exactly know which kind of yeast it is for optimal treatment.

Do you really think that dry feet will improve the fungus between the finger?

The usual cause for return of fungal infections are inadequate treatment; topical treatment with antifungal creams should continue for at least 4-6 weeks even if it seems cleared.

I misread the first post, thought the OP was talking about tinea pedis.

Has the OP taken antibiotics in the last few months?

google www.candidacleanser.com......quite interesting theory about fungus inside the body and its relationship to cancer!

yes I know, my answer was a bit of a joke

Thanks, the contining to use the ointment for a considerable period after the fungus appears to clean up seems to be the best advice.

It acvtually says that on the label but who reads instructions?
