Comment:
Went through one tube in ~60 days and it temporarily cured the interdigital cracking next to little toe. Started second tube and had severe allergic reaction.

Comment:
Naftin was prescribed for Athlete's Foot. Told to apply all over both feet nightly for 6-8 weeks. Had to stop after 5 days, account reaction. Red rash of tiny bumps initially. Now, blisters and swelling along with the red rash. Will return to the dermatologist if the blistering doesn't clear up soon.
