Athlete's foot may be resistant to medication and should not be ignored. Simple cases usually respond well to antifungal creams or sprays(clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole nitrate, sulconazole nitrate, or tolnaftate).

The infected foot should be kept well ventilated. A foot bath containing cinnamon has been shown to slow down the growth of certain molds and fungi, and is said to be very effective in clearing up athlete's foot.
