I think you should be fine. Vaginal yeast infection is also a type of fungus, most likely very similar to what you have on your foot. Therefore the medicine should work for both...

Though frequently misunderstood, the medication name is actually Fluconazole, it is just a general antifungal drug, so as Roy said, it will work for both.
It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and elevated liver enzymes.

Re: alex (# 3) 
Sorry to hear about your stomach pain. Were you experiencing this before starting the Fluconazole, or did it start after the medication? According to Mayo Clinic, abdominal or stomach pain may be considered a more rare side effect of this drug, and you should let your doctor know about it ASAP. I hope this helps and that you feel better!

Probably not. I haven't heard of an anti fungal medication treating a UTI. You usually need to take antibiotics since UTIs are bacterial infections. Definitely see your doctor or use a tele health app to get the right prescription. Hope that you feel better soon!
