What's the best cure for athlete's foot?

[cheapie]

I have a small case of it. No burning or itching but there's (sorry) some dead skin between the toes. It doesn't really bother me that much except for the fact that I slipped in the shower in the hotel in baltimore and the edge of the shower cut right between my pinkie, and, umm, next to pinkie toe. the exact place where the skin is dead. it hurt like a mother****er.

so, what's the best powder/medicine/way to cure athlete's foot?

[DaFunkyUnit]

according to John Madden, its tough actin' Tenactin.


BOOM!

[cheapie]

does it work?

[Kevster]

I had a case of it and the doctor gave me the prescription form of Lotrimin. What I got is a higher concentration of the OTC form. If worked fine for me - also make sure that you always wear clean socks (some people use socks more than one day between washing?) and alternate shoes. I found that when I got rid of a certain pair of leather shoes and used the cream on the affected area, my problem went away within a week.

hmmm....i'll stop and get lotrimin tonight. i of course change socks every day. i try to alternate my shoes so that they dry out completely.

Lotrimin works

when you are in the shower, urinate on your foot.

gross sounding i know, but it works and (best of all) it's free.

Cut off the toe. Gets rid of the fungus immediately.

heh...that was me i'll bet. i was thinking about looking that thread up 'cause i wondered who i'd advised to do that.

it works for me???

i've got a friend who pees on his foot everyday just to prevent it.

[molecularfire]

You actually pee'd on your foot? :gle:

[ShawnLee]

I've peed on my foot and used Lotrimin. I prefer the urine. :shifty: I'm kidding.

The tinactin is alright, but one time I had a bad case and I was using it to the point where it became almost preventative more than anything. Lotrimin was good to cure it pretty well. The best I ever had was a prescription for athlete's foot/jock itch (TMI I know), and that was good. But it was basically an OTC drug. I think it was clotrimazole at 1%? Anyhow, yeah all of that worked for me.

But there are better qualified folk to answer for specific drugs.

when my grandpa was a kid they used to pour urine into folks ears when they had an ear ache.

When I had athlete's foot a couple of years ago, my doctor gaves me a bunchs of free samples of this cream that was supposed to take two weeks. Went away with only one week's use and keeping the foot dry (sandles).

rubbing alcohol....stings like a biatch - but it clears up in a day or so
