"I got athlete's foot from the shower room at camp in 2006. From then, I had it off and on for years. Finally, after years of discomfort and pain and so much itching that I would literally get open sores from it - I finally looked up the best product for athlete's foot. And in a few days, years of pain and discomfort were permanently gone! Don't ask me why I didn't try it sooner. I love this stuff. It's a little pricey but well worth it. You only need to use a small amount of product, so the tube (I bought a cream) lasts for a long time. I believe it says to use it for a week - DO SO. Similar to an antibiotic, you have to use it even after you think it's gone. I didn't, and it recurred a week later. Used it for a week, and it hasn't come back since."

"I can't believe how well this medicine worked! I had athlete's foot for five years on my left foot and for six months on my right foot. My entire left foot on the bottom and sides and in between my toes itched like crazy at times. Every day, I suffered with my foot itching in the shower or whenever my foot sweated. I scratched so hard in the shower that my foot bled, and I really felt like I was suffering, and that wasn't too strong of a word. I tried a few things that I read online, and nothing helped. I finally tried Lamisil 1%, using it twice a day for six weeks and missing a few doses. Directions are for two weeks. It finally cured my athlete's foot! It's costly but worth every penny. I still use it occasionally to be on the safe side. I rate it 10!"

"My diagnosis was initially gout since an infection started in my big toe on the left foot, and for over 2 weeks, the infection spread into smaller toes on the right foot and the bigger toe on the right foot, then more toes on the left foot as well. Both feet had itchy cracks between the toes and a crusty texture around the foot too, and even on the heels the skin thickened, along with the bottoms of my feet really burning, and it started with a lot of difficulties walking. Then my diagnosis became athlete's foot and I sent pictures to my doctor who agreed! I have used Lamisil 1% cream for about a month and then I burned my fingers and had to heal them. I stopped using the Lamisil, also thinking my athlete's foot felt a lot better, and after a week, the athlete's foot came back, and I am reapplying the Lamisil 1% cream. I am glad my fingers healed so that I could get back to getting rid of the athlete's foot. This is the first time I ever got athlete's foot and I never went to a gym either."

"Lamisil works from the first application. Fungal infections are slow to get rid of, you have to be patient. But Lamisil has cleared my athlete’s foot on two occasions and my paronychia (fungal infection around my fingernail) once. The other brands only half work. Writing this in relief!"

"Under the direction of my MD, I took Lamisil for 7 weeks, and my sense of taste disappeared. The past 8 weeks, my taste has come and gone. Miserable side effect."

"I had a monster athlete's foot. After four or five days, my feet stopped itching, and they aren't yellow anymore. I will never buy the dollar store brand of antifungal ever again."

"It took 3 weeks after I saw the improvements in my feet. I've been suffering from this every time my feet get wet, especially on rainy days, but after I had Lamisil, tinea pedis doesn't exist anymore! Thank you, Lamisil!"
