Athletes foot is caused by a fungus so once u kill the fungus it will be gone but u also have to treat all the shoes and socks that were worn while it was active.

Well your best bet is to try and find it and remove it, mostly because there is always a chance of infection.  However if you can't find it and its not really bothering you and its a relitively small piece it should be ok for now.  Your body will probably actually work it out after a while, much like it does a sliver.  But if its a bigger piece, becomes painful, red or swollen you need to hobble yourself down to the doctor's office as fast as your other foot can carry you!

Soak your foot in hot water, that will help your pores open and it will be easier to remove, and less painful. Get a needle--sterilize it first, or use a tweezers if ya can.

I stepped on one when I was four....it was a very rusty nail...went right through my right foot, through my slippers first. When  I looked down, the tip of the rusty nail was poking out of my foot. I was rushed to the hospital for a tetanus shot and treatment.

Yes, and it hurts like hell!!  The best thing to do is to stay off of it completely!  At least 3 weeks after diagnosed, start rehabilitation.  All I did for the first month after being diagnosed was rotate my foot. That stuff HURTS!!!

In the time it has taken you to write this question and then receive the answer, you would know. the desease once it takes hold progresses very rapidly. in mere hours it can go from a small patch on your ankle to engulfing your whole leg.

I TRIED TO EMAIL YOU AND I GOT A SCREEN SAYING THAT MY MESSAGE WAS UNDELIVERABLE BECAUSE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. I decided to post my answer within this forum.  \n\nDid you have this problem before you had surgery? If so, here is my answer:\n\nI feel for you. I truly do. I've been there myself. If you give youself some time to heal, it will go away but as soon as you begin pushing yourself hard, the problem will likely reappear. Something that's helped me is custom made orthotic shoe inserts, not heal cups. I also stretch my upper heals and shins one at a time by sitting and pointing my toes as far forward as they will go, hold for 15-20 sec, and then flex the same foot up as far as it will go for 15-20 secs. I do this whenever I'm sitting still...watching TV, reading, etc. Ibuprofen helps with the inflammation and if I'm training for an event, I massage my legs from my knees down with peppermint foot cream. It works a lot like sports cream but it doesn't stink and it doesn't stain your clothes.   \n\nIf you DID NOT have this problem before you took some time off to have surgery, I've got good news for you. Some people are prone to plantar fascia. If it didn't bother you before, you can likely beat it. I run into this a lot. Runners have no problem until they stop running for a while and then try to start back. It doesn't take long to get those muscles, tendons, and ligaments out of shape. This has worked for many people that I personally know. If you have access to a gym, go there and work with a few weights...light enough that you can do 3 sets of 15. YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO BUILD MUSCLE. YOU'RE LOOKING TO INCREASE ENDURANCE. While standing, place a small weight on the top of your shoe. Flex your foot upward with a controlled range of motion. Hold for 10 secs and bring down slowly. Do not allow your foot to return to a resting position until you're done with all three sets. Even when you bring your foot down from the flex, there should still be some tension on it. DO 3 sets of 15 and repeat with the other foot. \n\nTHEN do standing and seated calf raises. To maximize the benefit, chose two different positions for your feet while doing the calf raises. For example, when you're standing, allow both feet to face foreward (like you can imagine) and when you're sitting, turn your toes toward each other, kind of like you're pigeon-toed. Believe it or not, a few hamstring curls and the leg press (low weight, high reps) will also serve to get you back to where you were to begin with. As far as your running, I know it's hard to resist not pushing yourself, but take it slow for a while. Start with perhaps one third of the distance you were doing before surgery and SLOWLY work your way back up.     \n\n\nI've had Plantar Fascia for years. I recommend a really great shoe. I use New Balance and trust me, I've gone through all of the other shoes out there, from Nike, Adidas, Avia, Converse, Reebok, Saucony. Nothing measures up to New Balance. \n\nIf you want to go more extreme than a great shoe, you can go to a podiatrist. You may be a good candidate for surgery to correct the problem OR if you have insurance, the doctor can prescribe a special, custom made shoe insert and it probably won't cost you anything.

Yep. sounds like you may have some arthritic changes in your foot/feet.  I know about foot pain becasue I have it often.  I've noticed that eating a lot of calcium or taking calcium supplements on a regular basis helps.  Esp. given the fact that you've just been pregnant, your body may be "leeching" calcium... Try this along with vitamin c (oj) to help you digest the calcium!

i would go see a doctor about that.  they can probably prescribe you some sort of anti-fungal that will clear it all up.\n\na dermatologist maybe, or a podiatrist

flat feet will never go away .. you can blame it on genes. I was recently told that I have the "flattest of flat" feet. My doctors had me get orthodics. They can get pretty pricey depending on ur age though. For example im 17 and they gave me a cork insert which was around $70. But for adults who are finished growing they can reach the $400 range.\n\nBut if flat feet are giving you ankle, knee or hip problems the inserts REALLY do help

i had one on each foot for years. finally got so bad i could hardly drive. Surgery fixed them both and i'm so glad i did it. couldn't walk much for a few days. couldn't drive for a couple of weeks but it was so worth it. good luck.

Mine do that, too.  My Dr. told me it was no big deal and that I should go barefoot more often.  Also, he advised me to buy and use one of those pumus foot scrubbers to use after I had been swimmimg and last thing in the shower after the skin on my feet had softened.  Also, she shouldn't pull the skin off because eventually it will bleed- just let it come off with the scrubber or completely naturally.

It sounds like athletes feet. But no matter what it is go buy a gallon jug of Apple Cider Vinegar it's about $3.00 pour it all in a tub soak your feet for as long as you can sit there everyday till it goes away a day or two should do it . Vinegar cures a lot of things. Don't add water pure vinegar. NO ONE else answered your ? I was only trying to help I did say no matter what you have the vinegar will cure it.ASK YOUR DOCTOR

Did you go to a foot specialist or just a doctor? No, I;m not a doc, but I thought my experience might help you.\nI had to have an ingrown toenail removed once. But to go to \na doctor, was a mistake that was made twice. Whatever he injected into me that was supposed to be pain killer, didn't kill the pain. After the second time of this mistake,\nmy parents took me to a foot specialist. They had my my mother prepare a special solution in which I was to place my foot, one a day, after the removal was successful. I was, eventually, able to walk normal, again.

It's probably athlete's foot (which is a fugus).  You can get foot spray at the drugstore to help it go away.  If you are showering in a public shower or tub that is shared, you may have gotten it there, so wear flip flops while you shower so you won't re-infect.\ngood luck

Sorry but it doesn't ... Toenail fungus is hard to get rid of because it always comes back. You can use topical solutions to apply to your nail which helps for a short time. Or take a RX (like lamisil) but the fungus will still likely come back over time. The only way to get rid of a true toenail fungus is to go to a doctor and have the nail removed. I know it sounds icky but I have been working at a foot doctor for 5 years now it really is the only thing that works.
