How long should Athlete's Foot take to heal

[MindMapper]

I'm suffering from Athlete's Foot and I'm wondering how long it should take to heal. I've been using a topical cream for the past few days but I'm not sure if it's enough or if I should see a doctor. Does anyone else have experience with Athlete's Foot? Can you tell me what helped you heal it and how long it took to get rid of the infection? Any advice or personal stories would be greatly appreciated.
