[QUOTE="WeeWillie, post: 409637, member: 55635"] Good solid advice Westie 2 I agree with you, hence my comment "It might be a good idea to determine whether the cream is acceptable for your condition". The thing is, we don't know lynbrown's reasoning behind wishing to purchase medicine/cream directly from the chemist. Keeping in mind that despite the chemist's refusal to sell her the cream, she still has a mind to purchase over the counter foot care. Hopefully, if lynbrown comes back to read her post she'll take note of the well intentioned replies. willie. H to you too Neil Walters. I've had athletes foot for many years also. My doctor informed me that in some cases, the infection can take the [i]minimum[/i] of one year to eradicate the problem. He offered me pills, but decided against them as I've to take so many of them for the all different health problems I have. So the alternative was foot cream which I gladly accepted. I'm prescribed "Terbinafine Hydrochlorde (Lamisil)" mentioned in my first reply. It can be bought over the counter as per link in my first post. I agree that many meds available for purchase over the counter are not as powerful as medically prescribed meds. So with utmost respect to you, I would suggest my doctor would never have prescribed the cream if it was "rubbish", ie available for purchase over the counter. Incidentally, I think "Lamisil" is the generic name. Best wishes to both of you. willie. [/QUOTE]
