You could buy an antilfungal cream from your local chemist, but if you want an alternative method, then try bathing the infected area in lavender or tea tree essential oil. Unlike most essential oils these oils can be applied neatly to the skin.
To prevent athletes foot, it is paramount to practice good hygiene. Make sure you dry thoroughly between the toes after bathing and invest in some insoles for your trainers and a good foot powder. Dont share towels with anyone if you or they have athletes foot as this can cross contaminate.

By right, medicines have many drug substance. If you are an athelete that can bring a problem for you. Oilment is better as its not a consumable and wont have any complication before & after you are on track.

I don't know where you are so the brand names might be different (I'm in Australia). Canesten works well.

probably lamisil. tinactin works too but you have to use it consistantly for about a month to really get rid of it
