If someone rubbed hand sanitiser between their toes would that help prevent tinea?

Literally none of the stuff in this video was covered by my md. He told me not to wrap my foot, keep it completely open to air, and when I said but it's seeping because the blisters are popping, can't I keep something on it so I'm at least not rubbing the cream off, he said it wld be best not to. So I'm hobbling around painful as hell on the side of my foot, trying to keep my bare foot off the floor. The next visit, I don't have a wrap on it and he tells me I have to throw my shoes away because I was walking in them w/o any kind of barrier. Now I have this crap on both of my hands, the cream is next to useless, the md won't give me any more meds, never did any kind of scraping to ck which fungus it is, and it's coming back. We should be able to get the meds we need without all this hoopla. This is an antifungal, not an addictive opioid!

Just seeing athletes foot, grosses me out Waymore than smelling foot odor. In fact, the smell of feet to me it’s closer to being the best smell in the world many days to being the worst because it smells nice and salty so that says a lot when your feet even grossed me out
