Athletes Foot

[HeIsRisen2018]

Does anybody know what it is or have gotten it before or knew somebody who had it before? I'm asking this question because I keep waking up at night with really itchy toes. Especially in-between them and I'm wondering if I could possibly have it.

dried or red itchy skin with flakes? if so yup. wash them toes and use fast actin tenactin. boy it will burn that first time. you can use talc or baby powder in your socks and shoes and that reduces the moisture and often that solves the problem. I have used that for jock itch and athletes foot.

Another good product that works where antibiotics didn't for my wife is:
Ammens Medicated Powder has some interesting properties one is that the zinc helps alleviate itching from fungal infections, ring worm, athlete's foot, poison oak, poison sumac, poison ivy, and heat rash.
And it's cheap available most everywhere. Again here I don't believe it's leprosy, but of course it might be good to see a doctor.

I don't know right now it hardly looks red and I'm not constantly itching them around the clock either. I actually sort of doubt that it can be Athletes Foot since it being in the middle of winter I don't go barefoot much. And when I do, it's at home. I guess it is possible that I could be at the beginning of it though.

it can start midly and get worse. I usually at your point wash my feet real well and use baby powder and it stops.

Alright thanks for the advice! It's sort of weird if I got it though. Like I said, in the winter I'm hardly ever barefoot even at home. I usually have socks or slipper socks on my feet.

My daughter had athletes foot when she was in her teens. The doctor told her to wash her feet and to make sure she thoroughly dried inbetween her toes, then apply baby powder. He said not thoroughly drying inbetween the toes can cause it.

Ok, I will make sure that my toes are thoroughly dried from now on. thanks for the advice Tessa!
