CURE FOR ATHLETE'S FOOT...

Apply TEA TREE OIL (Melaleuca alternifolia) 100% pure Australian oil to toes and affected area each day after showering and drying well. I use a Q-tip as it smells like turpentine, and I really don't want that smell on my fingers all day. It will conquer the problem, and I never stopped using it and it hasn't recurred. I purchased the 2 Fl. Oz. bottle at K-Mart for about $13.00 USD (it has lasted since last June and I still have about 1/4 bottle left). Pretty reasonable all tolled.

You have to understand, you NEVER truly CURE Athlete's Foot as it grows ad multiplies in any warm damp area without any notice, aka: our shoes. Usually we don't have as much trouble in the summer if we wear sandalls or go without shoes.

Hope this helps.

I had terrible athletes foot when I was about 12, I'm 59 now. We took a weekend camping trip one summer on a sandy shallow river where I spent most of my time barefoot chasing carp. Monday my athletes foot was gone and has never returned. Several years ago I related this story to a friend, hypothesizing that the microbes in the river kicked butt on the athletes foot. He tried it using river mud and it worked for him as well. I have to laugh at the suggestion you need drugs and medicines. All we need is dirty feet! Try it, It doesn't cost anything!

soaking your feet in white vinegar for about 15 minutes 2 times a day, drying your feet well after and keeping your feet dry will cure this, it worked for my son.
