can athletes foot ever be stamped out?

Answer 1

nope...unless everyone stops exercise

Answer 2

Yes, although only over time and careful (unreasonable?) cleanliness. And even then it often returns.
That's with the right medication.
My Dad has suffered with it all his adult life, despite powdering his socks and washing his feet in medicated soap daily.
I myself used to suffer after a long walk. I had picked it up doing cross country in my teens.

HOWEVER, I have not suffered from either athletes foot, nor 'grot rot' (sorry - don't know how else to describe it) after washing my hair in a particular brand of anti-dandruff shampoo.
It's not over the counter but prescription, Nizoral is the name but I'm sure others have the same ingredients
I washed my hair with it, sitting in the bath, then washed my hands in the bath, sat reading for 10mins. as advised. Then rinsed. When I got out, I noticed immediately the 'grot rot' had gone, and have not been bothered with athletes foot ever since.
Since they are all fungal infections, it makes some kind of weird sense.
Strangely I still get an itchy head if I go camping and forget to wash.
