GROSSSSS!  First of all, don't walk around barefoot and give it to others.  Go to the doctor to get something for it and try to just wear socks around the house, not shoes, so it can dry out.

I don't think that stepping on mushrooms would cause foot fungus.  If you have a fungal infection on your foot, though, a spray like Lamisil (terbinafine) or Lotrimin would help.  If you're looking for something more natural, tea tree oil is a good antifungal.

Remedy for foot odor.\n\nTo eliminate foot odor, soak your feet several times a week in one-third cup of natural apple cider vinegar added to a small pan of warm water.\n\nOr, use tea. The tannic acid found in tea can help eliminate foot odor. Make a pot of tea, without adding sugar or lemon, and pour it into a dishpan. Wait until the tea is no longer too hot, then soak your feet in it for ten minutes. Soap and water should remove any stain the tea leaves on your feet.\n\nSprinkle baking soda inside your shoes to absorb moisture and odor.\n\nGet 15 to 30 milligrams of Zinc per day either alone or in your Multi-vitamin. This should reduce or eliminate the odor within a week or two. The zinc may make the skin more resistant to the bacteria causing the odor. Don't take more than 30 mg. of zinc without medical supervision since high levels of zinc can interfere with the absorption of copper and can damage the immune system.\n\nShoes made with natural materials like leather breathe better than man-made materials like plastic, allowing heat to escape.

I get that when I don't have time to care for my feet, when I do have time, this is what I do, every day after my shower {or if you shower every other day, soak your feet on the days you don't shower} and then file down the cracks on your feet after you towel dry them until it hurts to file, don't make yourself bleed.  Then put lotion on your feet, a little more than necessary, and then put socks on, keep socks on at all times except bed time.  Try this for a week.  This always helps my feet, I even us a pumice stone in the shower too.  GOOD LUCK! :)

Alcohol on a cotton ball and scrub, scrub away. It usually works. If not then nail file and scrap the skin...EASILY and that will definitely do it! Don't wear those shoes anymore!

If it's a heel problem (on foot) then try some Bio-Oil and Flexitol heel balm. Also worth going for a pedicure to start things off. Good Luck

Sweat and moisture collect near the toes, and with no space to escape, they are sucked by the tender underfoot skin.\n\nThese develop into blisters, and may progress to infection.\n\nDaily wear fresh socks. Avoid the Nylon types, cotton or cotton blended are the best. Use talcum or anti pespiration dusting powder before you out the shoes on.\n\nDry & air the shoes. Keep in sunlight for the stale sweat to be evaporated. Dust the insides of the shoes with taclum powder, and when not in use for some time, put moth balls inside to avoid fungus formation. And never use rubber/plastic insoles.\n\nI wear leather shoes for more than 14 hours a day since last 25 years, and this tried & trusted method has never let me down.

It could be exzma, which isn't an infection, but needs hydrocortisone cream ( over the counter).  It could also be from wearing wet socks.  Keeping your feet aired and dry is important.  If it itches or gets red, see your doctor.  Hope this helps

Have you tried certain dry? I have the same disgusting problem, and I like you tried many things. My husband has problems with sweaty feet and he went to a foot dr. and he uses certain dry on his feet, so I got some and tried it. You have to use it as the directions say, and it takes about a week to start working properly. I hope this helps, and you can find this online, or I get it at Target.

This is gross but it works,\n\nPee on your feet. The acid in your pee kills the fungus.

Ringworm is a fungus that lives on the skin.  While anti-fungal cremes are desirable (we're talking about an infection by a foreign organism, not helping the body function better), there are a few at home remedies you can try.  You can try suffocating the fungus by applying clear nail polish or nu-skin bandage to the rash twice a day.  Using a hydrogen peroxide or a sea salt body scrub on the area may also help suffocate the fungus.  Also, try eating less sugar and be sure to dry the ringworm thoroughly (and last so you don't spread it to other areas of the body) after showering.  If these don't work, you should probably see a doctor or purchase an over-the-counter anti-fungal creme.  Any athlete's foot or yeast infection cream will work.  They're all fungus.  While there aren't any serious cases of ringworm, it can be annoying and itchy, so it's best to treat it.  Scratching can lead to other infections.

Many of the "cures" that you find on the net contain Tea Tree oil. After looking at some of the sites, I realized that I have one toe nail that doesn't look or feel quite right so I am going to the healthfood store today to get some tea tree oil. I have used it before for other things like my husbands dermatitis and for tooth picks for bad breath. This oil kills bacteria and fungus as well as some virus's. I will look around at the store and see if there is any better over the counter suggestion (besides what you can get at Wally World and Walgrees). It might be possible to take a pill or three, I will ask my herbal specialist and get back to you!

The clinical name for sthletes foot is "ringworm of the feet"\n\n"Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that thrives in warm, moist conditions and the closed shoes present a good 'incubator' for these organisms, That's why athlete's foot is quite uncommon in primitive cultures where shoes are not worn.\n\nWhenever you take off or put on your socks, it's a good practice to rub a sock up and down your toe webs, That keeps the areas between your toes dry, which is essential in preventing and treating athlete's foot.\n\nBaking soda is a cheaper alternative to expensive foot powders, yet it does essentially the same thing. Either sprinkle it on dry or make a paste by moistening one tablespoon of baking soda with lukewarm water.  Rub the mixture on your feet and between your toes. After about 15 minutes, rinse it off and dry thoroughly.\n\nUse your hair dryer on your feet to dry them more effectively than you can with a towel.  And blowing air from your hair dryer into your shoes is a good way to dry them out after you wear them.\n\nRubbing or spraying antiperspirant on your feet can keep them from sweating, You can use the same brand you use on your underarms. As long as it contains aluminum chlorohydrate, the active drying ingredient, it will work.\n\nDisinfect your shoes, Lysol and other household disinfectants can kill off any living fungus spores. After you take off your shoes, rub the insides with a cloth or paper towel that has a dab of disinfectant. (Then use that hair dryer to dry out the insides of the shoes).\n\nDon't use creams. Antifungal creams have the right ingredients but the wrong way of presenting them. "The problem with creams is that they help trap moisture, especially between toes. Solutions are much better than creams.  While solutions are more effective for remedying, creams can be used to help prevent athlete's foot.\n\nRemove dead skin. When your condition starts to improve, remove any dead skin. Dead skin houses fungus that can reinfect you. To remove it, use a bristled scrub brush on the entire foot and a baby bottle "nipple brush" on toe webs. And brush in the shower, so the dead skin goes down the drain without touching other parts of your body.\n\nI hope this information helps you...  Good luck!!
