anti-fungal creme?\nwear only cotton socks - no rayon or man-made materials. And wear only leather shoes...no plastic, vinyl or rubber. You should also alternate shoes. Let one pair air out 24 hours before wearing again and spray in between, too.

You have to make sure your shower, bath mat, shoes and socks have been treated/washed as well. They carry the bacteria so even if you are treating your feet, if you are still showering or using the infected surfaces (bath mat, shower, shoes etc) then the fungus wont go away. If you have cleaned everything and you still cant get rid of the fungus, id go to a doctor just to make sure it really is athletes foot and not something else.

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!!

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.)

Buy gynelotrimen.\nIt's MUCH cheaper than the foot creams, and it is EXACTLY the same medicine.

You have to go to the demartologist. Some fungus are so strong that may require daily application of anti-fungal creams to keep them away. And...\n\n* Avoid wearing shoes indoors and consider wearing open footwear when appropriate.\n* Change shoes daily – alternate between at least 3 pairs of shoes, allowing time for shoes to dry out.\n* Change socks midday if socks become damp.\nAvoid high top boots unless needed for work or other activities.\n• Consider applying powder to feet daily before putting on socks because excess moisture promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Lamisil has worked well for me. It is available in spray, powder and cream.\n\nI'm including a link to a WebMD page on athlete's foot. Check it out.\n\nTerry

There is some over-the-counter treatments that you can "paint" on your nails, but from what I have heard from others that have used it, they do not work very well. Usually, you need to see a doctor for a perscription they can give you (it's a pill) that will take away the fungus. It's important you get it treated right away, because it can spread to your other nails, and even to all your finger and toenails! The only downside, however, is that even with medication it takes MONTHS to fully get rid of the fungus. It's nasty stuff!!!

Nope. That's what bleach is for. If you are trying to get fungus out of your socks, BLEACH THEM.

The most widely used cleaner in our home is Vinegar. Mix it 1 part vinegar (white not apple cider) to 3 parts water. It will safely clean about anything. If you have a stubborn spot on a hard surface just moisten some baking soda and rub on to the area and scrub.

You can try vicks vapo rub as that is what the podiatrist recommend.  One other treatment is to soak his foot in warm water with tea tree oil added and then use the tea tree oil directly on the nail several times a day.

It is most likely fungus. Some of those fungal infections are very hard to get rid of. The fungus just lives there, on your feet, in your nails.

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.

Forget all of that -- try 100% organic tea tree oil, twice a day (after washing/showering and drying feet). Just dab it on with a cotton wool bud (not too much) and the verrucas will go. Completely. With no pain or tingling. The tea tree oil also helps stop reinfection and minimises the risk of you infecting others.
