Is it normal for it to take so long to heal?

It is normal for athlete's foot to take a long time to heal, sometimes at least 4 weeks or more. Topical antifungals may not always be enough to treat it. It is important to keep your feet dry, especially between the toes, and to change shoes or socks if they become damp. Using antifungal powders can help inside closed shoes. If you are unsure about the progress of your infection, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
