Thank you for the questions,

Actually, Vicks does not really treat "athletes foot." If it is a recurrent problem you can buy some over-the-counter topical anti-fungus medication – Lotrimin. If you decide to return to a physician I would suggest possibly a dermatologist because sometimes this comes from excessive sweating and there are other treatments that will help with that. Another treatment is using the topical Aveeno, cortisone cream. This is also an over-the-counter product with no prescription necessary.
