I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)

There are no sure fired cures for any types of poison like that but to get some relief, you can try an over the counter medication called IVY DRY.  It seems to be very effective.   If the rash is really bad you may need to see a doctor for some steroid (prednisone) treatment or other prescription medication.

Keep it dry and try to keep as much air circulating as possible.  Your doctor can prescribe anti-fungals (and he'll probably prescribe at least a couple different ones) that will knock it out in a hurry.  \n\nIf you want to go "natural" you're going to have to devote a lot of time to it.  Make sure to avoid cornstarch-based powders because they contain starch that'll just make the problem worse.  Use talc instead.  Wash the area as often as is practical and certainly after periods of heavy sweating.  Tea tree oil diluted in evening primrose might help.  The tea tree oil is anti-fungal and the evening primrose will give your skin the nutrition it needs to heal.  \n\nIf you get this alot, or you get it in other areas, talk to your doctor.  This can be a sign of high blood sugar.\n\nGood luck!

HMM..  I would make sure that the DR diagnosis of Tinea was accurate.\n\nOne of the best ways to cure any fungal infection is to think where does a mushroom ever grow.   Desert (dry and sunshine)\n\nSometimes a short burst from tanning beds can cure since the UV will kill the fungus.  It will require a couple weeks, along with other dermatits medications.  Take your time and remember that it takes a bit of time and keep treating for 5-7 days after you don't see any more infected areas.

There are a number of prescription creams out there.  Get one from your doctor.  Barring that use a lotion that has Aloe and vitamin E.  \nFor Psoriasis on your scalp use T-Gel.  Massage it into the hair and scalp, put on a shower cap, and sleep on it.  \n\nBe careful, self diagnosed psoriasis can sometimes be a fungus instead.  Any treatment for psoriasis on the fungus will make it worse.  Much much worse.\n\nIf it is the fungus, get a anti-fungal cream from your doctor or use Nizoral shampoo.  It clears up much faster than psoriasis.

There are many different fungal infections that involve the skin, and the one that causes Athlete's foot is a bit different from the ones that usually affect the underarms and scalp.   So far as an herbal remedy, there isn't one that really works- at least not as fast or as well as the commercially prepared medications.  There are a few other choices aside from Lotrimin you can also use.   arclotrimazole (eg Canesten), miconazole (eg Daktarin) and terbinafine (eg Lamisil will all work on fungal infections.  There are also generic versions of these, just ask the pharmacist.\n  As you describe a rather extensive area of infection, I would suggest you might want to visit the doctor for a body cream/shampoo which can be applied all over, all at once.  Since your scalp is involved, the creams might prove a trick to use.  Also, you need to treat other places/things that have also been exposed to the fungal infection and can reinfect you.  All of your shoes, for instance, need to be well powdered.  Your socks and underclothing need a wash in the hottest water you can wash them in, and dried in a nice hot dryer.  Your bath mats, towels, washclothes, hats, etc, all need washing in hot water.  Things that can't take hot water wash can be dampened and microwaved.  It's no point treating you if you don't eliminate all the possible sources to reinfect yourself.  If you use a public locker room, consider investing in a cheap pair of shower shoes, and never let your bare feet or any other bare part of you, touch common places - like the floor or the seats.  Dry yourself very well and apply a body powder to absorb any moisture, so you don't provide a friendly spot for any stray fungus spores to grow in.\n  Your bathroom needs a good deep cleaning, with a disinfectant as well.  All the bath rugs, the mat in the tub/shower, and the shower curtain will all need the hot wash.  You need to do this because the bath is a nice spot for them to hang out in, and if you've had it for very long- rest assured there are some in there.\n  If the over the counter treatments don't work, or if they cause you to rash- you will have to visit the doctor. There are some fungal infections out there that just don't respond to the mediations sold without prescriptions.  The doctor will take a scraping of skin and identify exactly which one you have, and provide the medication for it.  Good luck, what ever you choose.  And remember, get all the sources besides just treating yourself- or it will come back again.

Hi Jay\n\nHere are a few remedies.\n\nNatural Cures\n\nFlower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically, and Crab Apple added to pure filtered water can speed healing. \n\nHerbs: Apply a poultice of equal parts of witch hazel, mugwort, white oak bark, and plantain to affected areas. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: At the first sign of outbreak take the following nutrients to minimize symptoms: vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. Zinc oxide can also be applied topically.\n\nTopical Treatment: Rinse affected area with apple cider vinegar, and in the evening take a warm bath with apple cider vinegar or cornstarch. Aloe vera gel, witch hazel, baking soda paste, or a paste of activated charcoal powder are also good topical treatments.\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Ringworm, also known as Tinea is a contagious fungal infection of the skin. Contrary to its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm.\n\nRingworm is very common, especially among children, and may be spread by skin-to-skin contact, as well as via contact with contaminated items such as hairbrushes. Ringworm spreads readily, as those infected are contagious even before they show symptoms of the disease. Humans can contract ringworm from animals; cats and dogs are often carriers. It should be noted that any contact sports such as wrestling has a risk of contracting the fungal infection through skin-to-skin contact.\n\nTypes\nA number of species of fungi called dermatophytes cause ringworm. Members of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum are the most common causative agents. These fungi attack various parts of the body and lead to the following conditions:\n\nTinea corporis affects the arms, legs, and trunk \nTinea capitis affects the scalp \nTinea cruris (jock itch) affects the groin area \nTinea pedis (athlete's foot) affects the feet \nTinea unguium affects the fingernails and toenails \nTinea versicolor \n\nSymptoms and diagnosis\nThe best known sign of ringworm is the appearance of one or more red raised itchy patches with defined edges. These patches are often lighter in the center, taking on the appearance of a ring. If the infected area involves the scalp or beard area, then bald patches may become evident. If the nails are affected, they may thicken, discolor, and finally crumble.\n\nDoctors can diagnose ringworm on sight, or they may take a skin scraping. This is examined under a microscope, or put on an agar plate in a microbiology laboratory and allowed to grow. Some of the fungi fluoresce under a black light examination.\n\nTopical antifungal drugs containing miconazole and clotrimazole, available by perscription or over the counter, are used to clear up the infection. According to Living Well on a Shoestring by the editors of Yankee Magazine, a folk remedy for ringworm is cider vinegar; apply full strength, then rinse with water.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_worm

I've read the answers so far, and most are either over the counter meds or old fashioned treatments.  All help to a degree.  But they are not true alternative medicine.  There are sinus washes that will flush out fungus infestations.  Also, oil of oregano capsules will help eliminate fungus, an almost always cause of sinus problems.  A very good book on healthy living in general and healing various human illnesses is:\nFoundations for Healing by Richard L. Becker, D.O. ~ Available at www.bioinnovations.net or call 1-888-442-6161.  Dr. Becker has a great one hour TV program at 12 noon central time.  Channel 321-WHT-on my DirectTV.\nOne of the most important things you can do for your health is to eliminate or cut way back on sugar because it feeds fungus and yeast in the body.\nWarm compresses, dry or moist will help ease sinus pain.  I find that when I put a piece of cloth over my eyes and forehead as I go to sleep at night it holds the warmth in and reduces cold causing pain.\nSalt water rinses are OK, but will dry out the membranes if used too often.  A drop or two of olive oil added to the rinses would ease that condition.  There are numerous remedies, but I hesitate to give them as I am not a doctor, I'm merely an avid student of alternative remedies.\nShould you wish to have more references to good books on the matter, post a note to my site (if that is possible or permissible) and I'll do my best to help.

I have given tohe site in the source from which the following information is taken.  The treatment is based on homeopathic medicines i.e., oral.  You may contactthem for further information and treatment.\n\nWart is one of the common dermatological disorders caused by DNA viruses, which grow in the epidermis. The source of infection is other infected individuals and the disease is transmitted by direct or close contact. It has very low infectivity; a casual contact with an infected individual is unlikely to result in the disease.\nPlain Warts or Verruca Plana : It presents as skin colored, slightly raised flat -topped papules and are usually present on dorsum of hand and face.\nAll the cases were given pre-coded drugs Thuja, Ruta, Calcarea carb and Causticum following double blind placebo controlled study, parallel design for a period of 15 days. The pre-coded drugs of 30 potency were given in TDS doses, 200 potency was used in BD doses and 1M potency was used in OD doses.\n\nThis study had much larger size than the previous one and care was taken to avoid carry over effects of homoeopathic medicines adopting different research design.\nVR
