Fungal and Bacterial Conditions, including athlete's foot, occur because our feet spend a lot of time in shoes - a warm, dark, humid place that is perfect for fungus to grow. Fungal and bacterial conditions can cause dry skin, redness, blisters, itching, and peeling. If not treated right away, an infection may be hard to cure. If not treated properly, the infection may reoccur. To prevent infections, keep your feet - especially the area between your toes - clean and dry. Change your shoes and socks or stockings often to help keep your feet dry. Try dusting your feet daily with foot powder. If your foot condition does not get better within 2 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Nonprescription antifungals usually are used first. These include terbinafine (Lamisil AT), miconazole (Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF), and tolnaftate (Tinactin, Tinaderm).
Prescription antifungals are used if nonprescription medications are not successful or if you have a severe infection. These include naftifine (Naftin), butenafine (Mentax), miconazole (Monistat Derm), and clotrimazole (Lotrimin).
Griseofulvin is a prescription medication that slows the growth of fungi. It is used to treat athlete's foot.

do NOT go combining things like that - seriously, you could be asking for a lot of trouble - and keep in mind that everything you put on your skin gets absorbed into the blood stream - I don't think you want to be soaking your foot in peroxide and acetone! Combining all of this will damage your skin, potentially cause health problems, and I have no idea what chemical reactions may occur causing fumes etc!
