Anti-fungal creams are hard on the body because they treat eukaryotic cells, not prokaryotic cells like bacteria. Since we are also made of eukaryotic cells, the antifungal medications also have a tendency to affect our cells as well because it is difficult to differentiate. It is somewhat similar to the dilemma with chemotherapy, in that it is difficult to target ONLY cancer cells, since we have not found something unique enough about the cells to help target.
I would agree with the antifungal medications. Lotrimin makes a great athlete's foot spray. It also does wonders for heat rash. it may sting a little, but it should clear that right up.
