can i use triple antibiotic ointment for athlete's foot

Of course, I'm here to help! What's your question?

Triple antibiotic ointments are typically used for preventing infection in minor skin injuries. However, athlete's foot is a fungal infection, not a bacterial one. These ointments may not be efficient in treating it. Antifungal creams or sprays are usually the first line of treatment for athlete's foot.

Not completely useless, as it could potentially help with any secondary bacterial infections that can occur. However, for the primary fungal infection of athlete's foot, a treatment specifically designed for fungal infections would be more effective.
