How to Get Rid of Athlete's Foot

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Mild soap (such as dishwashing liquid)

1. Wash your feet twice a day with a mild soap. Clean well between your toes, and dry thoroughly. Avoid deodorant soaps.

2. Apply an over-the-counter antifungal powder, cream or spray or herbal alternative between your toes and inside your socks and shoes.

3. Wear clean socks made of cotton or wool. Natural fibers absorb moisture much better than synthetics.

4. Change your socks during the day, especially after activities that cause your feet to sweat.

5. Wear shoes that provide some ventilation such as sandals or canvas shoes.

Tips & Warnings

• If symptoms persist or worsen or if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, we recommend you contact a physician. Consult a physician if you develop a fever. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

on 5/6/2008 Good advice on treating athlete's foot. It should also be noted that athlete's foot fungus can still be there after symptoms are gone. So it is a good idea to continue to treat the area with anti-fungal for 7 to 10 days after all symptoms are gone.
