Does anyone know a quick way to get rid of Athlete's foot? I spend all day at work on my feet and I think I have gotten it. First time.
Is there a good remedy out there?

Thanks

As a rule I try to avoid public showers....aside from being germ factories I've never liked the idea of showering around other naked men.....just a little too "shawshank redemption" for me :eek:

That said there are some times where you can't avoid a communal shower and in that situation a good defence is your best offence. Wear flip flops or deck sandals. If that's not an option just pick up a spray at your local pharmacy and when you're done padding around in other people waste wash and DRY your peds then give them a quick douse of the fungicide. I usually go camping to the spot every year and the showers get a little fousty by the time the weekends over. When I've followed my routine I've never had a problem, the one year I didn't I ended up with peeling itchy feet

Grav has some good points.

Dry your feet and footwear well.
Use clean socks and get some powder for you footwear and creme for your feet.
Avoid showers with wet floors and poor cleaning.
Over the counter meds don't act immediately and may take a while. Your doctor can prescribe a much faster solution.

Lamisil works really well. You can get a prescription for it or, if you go the to U.S., buy it over the counter there.

The ammonia and uric acid contained in urine does in fact kill the fungus that causes athletes foot. Madoona was right. I am a distance runner and struggle with it from time to time. I simply wash my feet often, and use Tinactin spray powder. Spray your feet after washing and drying them well in the morning and before bed. Also spray your shoes with a healthy amount to kill any fungus that lingers there, should clear up in a few days. Spray every once and a while (the shoes especially) to keep it from coming back.

As far as public showers go...I too do not shower in them. I won't go near a hot tub (human soup if you ask me) and usually wear flip flops at public pools or beaches.

If you do find yourself in a "Shawshank Shower" just don't drop the soap. If you do drop the soap, just let it go...

It does not like sunlight. So lie in the sun or if there is no sun hit a tanning bed for a cpl of days. Be gone in like 3 days.

They don't all work..

there are many powders, sprays and ointments at your local pharmacy. they all work.

Sorry to disagree with you ssd... but I had a bad case and went to my doctor. She recommended some over the counter ointment and it didn't do a damned thing. Like a fool, I kept using it for 3 months while still being in total agony.

The ex took pity on me and bought an off the shelf remedy, DESENEX....
ointment.

That did the trick in a couple of days, I have since recommended it to others and they have been very happy with it. One lady with very bad sweaty feet started using it and applied it for months around her toenails also. Got it right into her cuticle, along the sides and under the front part of the nail.

It eventually got rid of her 'yellow' nails, she was showing off her feet to me. She is so happy because she likes to wear sandals because she previously had such sweaty feet.

It also helps to wear a few different pairs of shoes and rotate them. If they never get a chance to dry out 100%, it will make things worse for your feet. But even two or three pairs over a week will make a difference.

Podiatrist Treatment

A professional treatment runs about $60.00. Advice I received includes spraying shoes, boots, with household disinfectant cleaner, [as windex with ammonia] wiping inside throughly, then 48 hours in deep freeze. Spray again on removal. repeat every two or three months, change socks twice daily. Use moisturerizer lotion especially for chapped feet as ongoing care. I was prescribed Ecostatin ointment. and nails were ground thinner and back using a painless polishing wheel. I also used canesten off the shelf, [cheaper] and it works in groin area also. A severe infection was gone in ten days.
