What are the recommended first-line topical antifungal treatments for athlete's foot in adults?

The provided clinical guidelines and literature do not specifically detail recommended first-line topical antifungal treatments for athlete's foot (tinea pedis) in adults. NICE guideline CG153 focuses on the assessment and management of psoriasis ¹. NICE guideline NG19 addresses the prevention and management of diabetic foot problems ². The peer-reviewed literature provided discusses efinaconazole topical solution for the treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus) in adult and pediatric patients, rather than athlete's foot (Vlahovic and Gupta, 2022). Therefore, based solely on the provided context, specific first-line topical antifungal treatments for athlete's foot cannot be identified.
