I don't know if it works for Athletes foot but its a fungus so it mite!
I use to have heels that cracked and bled hurt!!! my fingers did this too! it was a type of fungus. Found out that plain old 'Vicks vapor rub' will cure it!!!!!! BUT you have to be Diligent!!!! for a long time. I put it on at night thick then socks, only after did I realize my fingers were better too. its never come back and thats been 2yrs. 8-) PS you can get the dollar store stuff it works fine!!
You're correct, that's what I use to control it on my left foot/toe. Funny that it grows only on my piggy toe.
Dr. did prescribe Lamisil years ago, but it comes back to that toe only.

Especially in the winter when your skin gets really dry and cracking this soothes the irritated area.

Good tips, will have to try out some of these remedies or foot bath for that piggy toe.
