Athletes foot

[pitstopbunny]

I have suffered with this for quite a long time now, and have tried most things to clear it up. I never wear trainers, use cotton socks & always dry my feet properly etc, so what is causing it and how can I get rid of it? My dad said to soak my feet in meths every day for a couple of weeks, will this work?

[Joe_the_Lion]

I do not believe it. For the second time today I shall mention wee-weeing on your feet.

More than an old wives tale, I have been told.

[pitstopbunny]

so do I wee directly on my foot, or it is safer to put it in a bowl first? I think I may try the meths first, sound a bit more user friendly

[Joe_the_Lion]

In the shower and let it soak in a while. Then wash it off.

Have you tried medical treatments like Lamasil or something.

[pitstopbunny]

Tried Lamisil, made no difference at all.

[Whickerman]

Try Tinaderm, it's great. But you have to be meticulously hygienic, and give it at least 2 treatments a day for a few weeks, even after it feels like it's gone.

This is an interesting debate....
Whickerman says be meticulously hygenic and use a medication,...
Joe_the_Lion says pee on your feet!

Please will you try them both and keep us informed?

[pitstopbunny]

I am very wary about peeing on my feet, due to the large amounts of white wine I drink - I fear it may do more harm than good!
