Quick fix for Athletes Foot:
I contracted Athlete’s Foot as a young teen: I cut my foot in a swimming pool and suffered from Athlete’s Foot on and off ever since. I’ve had plenty of experience with numerous treatments, both: prescription and over-the-counter. None of them is 100% effective and none of them is free. After years of struggle I found a way to treat the problem fast, effectively and on a dime.
- If your Athlete Foot is fully blown already: soak your feet in a solution of warm water and baking soda for 10 minutes. Dry your feet thoroughly, between the toes, etc. Wait another 10 minutes to make sure that your feet are completely dry.
- Fill in a spray bottle with Hydrogen Peroxide and spray the infected areas thoroughly before going to sleep.
- Spray with Hydrogen Peroxide morning and evening for up to 3 days.
- Disinfect your shoes: if the shoes’ interior is irrelevant, spray it with Hydrogen Peroxide; if the interior is colorful sprinkle it with baking soda and leave it in overnight: shake out the baking soda in the morning.
In most cases of a fungal Athlete’s Foot, you’ll experience significant – or complete – relief within 24-48 hours.
IMPORTANT: do NOT use the above described method on the groin area or nails!
How to prevent Athlete’s Foot:
