If you use Tinactin as a preventative, per the label directions, spray it into the ends of your toes as part of your normal daily application. If the front corners of your toes are sometimes tender, this will help. Even though the directions state that the product is not effective on nails, that refers to back under the nails. It is effective at the edges.
It is best to use the plain Powder Spray (with the grey background) as it is less messy than the Liquid Spray (with the blue background). Avoid the Deodorant Powder Spray (with the green background) as the regular Powder Spray works just as well as a deodorant and unlike the regular Powder Spray, the Deodorant Powder spray contains corn starch which is sticky and leaves white marks on clothes, carpets, and shoes. Speaking of shoes, Tinactin regular Powder Spray can be sprayed directly into athletic or other shoes before putting them away. This works to kill shoe odors better than anything else I’ve tried. Apparently Tinactin also kills the fungi responsible for shoe odor. Trying this with Deodorant Powder Spray doesn’t work any better and leaves a persistent white residue.
