A 20-year-old male swimmer presents to you with a severe itch in his right foot. He claims that the itch is so severe that he is unable to sleep. The itch is localized to the right toe area. On examination, you notice excoriations, fissures and redness around the right big toe crease. His nail appears thickened. The most likely treatment for this man is: A. Topical steroids B. Tolnaftate C. Excise toe D. Warm soaks E. Bacitracin cream
