I have found that Lamisil is the best...fastest working too.

One thing that may upset your skin is residue from detergents when you wash your clothes. Once the skin gets irritated, then the fungus moves into the tiny cracks and sets up shop. The skin always has fungus on it. Always. But most of the time it does not set up shop.

We double rinse all our clothes. And do not use fabric softeners either. Try this experiment... do a second rinse on a load and watch how much soap comes out into the tub! You will be amazed. In fact we cut back on the Tide also to avoid this.

Also make sure the soap you use to bathe with is mild. I use Dove unscented and it does not leave a soap residue behind and keeps the skin from being defatted. Strong detergent type soaps can remove the protective layers on the skin, and leave little spots for fungus to enter.

The double rinse thing really cuts down on skin problems and works very well for us.
