How do I get rid of athlete's foot?

I have had a bad case of athlete’s foot that has gone on for near three months now. It keeps me awake at night and I have woken up in the middle of scratching in my sleep. I have tried Tinactin and Gold Bond, but to no avail. Should I try something else or is there something my doctor can get me that will work.

I was told that it might be my shoes holding on to the athlete’s foot fungi, but I can’t wash any of my work shoes because they are all leather. I was also warned about it “traveling” to other parts of my body so I am desperate now to get a handle on it.
