are there really any pills for...?

Question:

Ok i have atheletes foot on my left foot and I have a few planters warts or some kind of warts on my right foot (on/round my toes) I was going to the dr's every 2 weeks last yr to have freeze off stuff put on the warts, but i got sick of making dr visits every two weeks so i bought some freeze off stuff from walmart and have been putting that on every 2 weeks like the dr said, but a ex boyf of mine that i still talk to says there is prescription pills i could take for both my warts and atheletes problem. My dr as never suggested or prescribed me to any kind of pills for these conditions.....so is my ex boyf right?....the freeze off stuff doesn't seem to be working like it should! im thinking about asking my dr for a pill prescription to help get rid of the warts if there is such pill that does so!

Answers:
For your athletes foot which is a fungal infection--there are two types of pills in addition to creams/lotions and antifungal powder,
Tab Fluconazole 150 mg tab to be taken once a week for about
6 weeks or Tab Griseofulvin 250 mg- one tablet to be taken twice
daily after meals for 6 weeks.
Griseofulvin tablet may also help in case of warts In addition
Tab Levamisol 150 mg -one tab on two cosecutive days a week
for 6 weeks is also prescribed for warts. You can also take
homopathic treatment for warts.

Other Answers:
there are no pills for planters warts.

there are pills for athlete's foot.

Freezing is probably the best treatment for warts. No pills for that. Actually, pills for athletes foot is a little over-done unless you have tried topical treatments and they did not work. Oral anti-fungal drugs....athletes foot is a fungal infection.....can be very harsh on the body. There are numerous anti-fungal salves that work well in most cases. They do take more time but don't have the potential side effects of the oral meds. the over-the-counter anti-fungal salves also work. They just take a little longer. Also much less expensive. Not a bad idea to at least try the cheaper and longer method first. If it doesn't cure the infection then the more aggressive treatment can be used.
