Getting rid of Athlete's foot...
Never go bare foot in a public shower.

I did it just once, a year ago, and picked up a fungus.

It took a hell lot to treat it.

Never wear old sneakers.

I did.

The fungus is back, and tougher and sneakier than before.

Not only, but it has now spread to my index finger on the hand i used to applied the cream (right). I'm paralized. I can't scratch anything.

God dammit. I was just going to meet my gf and make up for lost time....


How do I treat it to heal fast?

I'm already putting lots of prescription cream on it.

Pee on your feet, and/or get sunburned where the fungus is located.

you've got fungus on your finger?
are you sure it's "ordinary" athlete's foot? I didn't know you could get that on your fingers

don't wear tight shoes. even better: wear sandals or something like that

That'll prevent it, but it won't get rid of it. Urine and UV is the way to go for a cure.

What kind of cream are you using? I don't know about Israel, but in the US there are an awful lot of over the counter anti-fungal medications that are worthless, despite the fact that years ago most of the prescription anti-fungal creams went over the counter. Try finding a cream with Clotrimazole in it. Use it twice daily for two to four weeks. Be sure to do something about your socks and shoes too. I usually tell patients to put a good antifungal powder in their socks once a day. In the US Tinactin powder is good for this. Wear only white cotton socks during the treatment period.

One other thing.....don't listen to loinburger. He's a quack.

Amputate your foot and you'll never have to worry about athlete's foot again.

"Fast acting Tanactin" is supposed to be good. Personally I've never had athelete's foot though because the Army taught me to always, always, ALWAYS, wear shower shoes. My high school even made us wear them.

Also let everything dry out (socks, shows, etc) before you reuse them and wash your socks with bleach before you reuse them. Lastly, make sure a dermitologist checks out your funguis just in case he can give you something stronger then the over the counter stuff.

I have heard peeing on your toes worked but I've never actually done so myself.

Peeing on yourself is for like man o'war stings.

Never wear socks to bed.

When I was in the Navy I got it and was never able to get rid of it. I used powders and everything. One day my friend pointed out that I should stop wearing socks(clean) to bed.

I wore them because my mattress was a little short and my toes hung over and touched cold metal.

Anyway, I took the socks off and a week later it was gone. I was still using foot powder too.

ACK!

No ball rub. I was in the Army and the doctor was a LTC giving me my physical exam. I tried to talk my way out of it, I tried refusing, but in the end ... *Cough, Cough*

(we need a crying smilie)

My exit "turn your head and cough" exam was done by a female!

If she hadn't been an officer, I'd love to have said "turn your head and spit."

ACK!

You are all too funny


Sirotnikov: Dr. Strangelove is correct. I use to wear steeltoed boots for work and I got athletes foot bad. I left that job, switched shoes, and it never went away. It began to spread. So I went to doctor who told me it was ring worm and that the only thing that really works is clotrimazole cream, 1% is the standard. Went away in about a week.

You don't mind?!! How on earth can you possibly not mind walking out of the doctor's office with half a bottle of lube up your ass and knowing a man's hand was just up there?


There is a whole lot to mind there.
