Is there home remedy indicated for tinea infections?

Condition analysis:
Most cases of athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) can be treated using a topical antifungal medicine to kill the fungus or slow its growth. Examples include terbinafine (Lamisil AT), miconazole (Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF), and tolnaftate (Tinactin). These are available in creams, lotions and powders. If non-prescription medicines are not successful, or if you have a severe infection, your doctor could prescribe an oral antifungal such as Fluconazole.
The usual adult dose of fluconazole for chronic or extensive Tinea Pedis is 150 mg once weekly for two to six weeks.

Instructions:
Garlic: Garlic is well known for its antifungal properties and can effectively treat tinea cruris. It will stop the fungus from spreading as well as give you instant relief from itching and inflammation.
 
-- Put three to four fresh garlic cloves and one teaspoon of olive oil in a blender. Blend it until you have a smooth paste. Spread the paste on the affected skin. Follow this remedy two or three times daily until you get rid of the infection.

-- Alternatively, mix five to six crushed garlic cloves and one teaspoon of honey. Apply the mixture on the infected area and allow it to dry on its own. Then wash the area with normal water. Do this twice daily to get positive results.

-- Also, use fresh garlic when cooking or take a garlic supplement daily to speed up healing.
