Anyone have any home remedies for athletes feet?

Also how to stop the itch? I have tried Tinactin and Goldbond to no avail. The only thing I have found that stops the itch quickly is extremely hot water running straight from the shower or tub onto my feet. Have gotten blisters but sure soothes the itch.

    Soke your feet in vodka if that doesn't work drink it and forget it.

    The shower and tub hot water is a start - add either mouthwash or white vinegar to help treat the ph in the skin and act as an antiseptic too. Dry thoroughly then use baking soda and put on clean dry cotton socks....

    Try putting about 5 or 6 drops of Clorox in a pan of warm water Not Hot water.. Just warm.. Soak your feet about 3 times a week. Dry them good and use some foot powder..

    Go to a drug store and talk to them..

    THERE IS A CREAM CALLED ( LAMISIL ) with 1 % Terbinapn Hydrochloric in it.. This really works.. Aske the people at the Drug store about it.

    I have read that soaking your feet in white vinegar will kill the fungus and itch of athletes foot and nail fungus. I believe you soak your feet a few times a day until relief is felt and/or nails return to their original color. Vinegar as a topical agent is quite benign unless you are allergic to it. It couldn't hurt to give it a try. Quite a lot of people swear by it. If you do try it out, lemme know how it went. Thanks and good luck!

    Soak them in Johnson's Foot Soak *orange little box* and then put Benadryl Cream on them. Benadryl pills also work well for body itches of any kind, not just allergies. Then pour some baby powder on them and put on some cotton socks.

    Soak ft for ten minutes on a daily basis in the two Potassium Permanganate (which will turn your ft brown) Or surgical spirit. be certain you dry between ft very intently and then positioned on some Lanacame medicated talc. is probably no longer a house remdy even though it works!!
