I don't want to gross you out, this is a 'Feet' question...?!
Question: I don't want to gross you out, this is a 'Feet' question...?
So I have just noticed something.
I am a very clean person and I have always had clean feet and taken very good care of them, because feet gross me out in the first place, even when they are clean...lol.
But today I noticed this bumpy-bumpy rash looking stuff like 1inch long going down the inner side of my big toe. Its like a densly backed area of small reddish inflamed skin.
Is this Athlete's Foot? Or it it just an allergic reaction? (I did just start using a different soap).
I am wondering because I have been forced to have to live with dirty guys and use the same bathroom *gasps..then cries*. And I am wondering right now if they did not transfer their hideous foot germs and fungus to my feet. God I want to kill them if they did! lol jk;)

It sure sounds like athlete's foot. The best anti fungal available without prescription these days is Lamisil cream in my opinion. But any anti fungal will heal it. Other things to help prevent recurrence is keeping your feet as dry as you can, and wearing flip flops in shared showers. The same fungus causes athlete's foot, jock itch, and some forms of infectious dandruff. It's a nasty thing but can be gotten under control. To obtain cure can take 3 to 4 weeks of using the medication. I hope this helps.

John Madden commercial, the one when he is made of like play-dough, Tough Actin TINACTIN. That is a athletes foot creme. Its probably athletes foot that transfers very easily in the shower. It will work also you could get a bucket and fill it with a little hot water and put in some bleach and soak your feet for 20 minutes.
