Question:

A cure for athletes foot please?


Answers:

Hi,

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection of the foot, and is called so as it is commonly seen in the feet of athletes.

An anti-fungal cream should be applied twice daily for three to four weeks. The treatment should be continued at least a week after the disappearance of the rash. With proper treatment, it takes around 3 weeks for a cure.

The feet must be kept dry. Wearing open sandals or chappals helps keeping the skin dry. Cotton socks help by absorbing the sweat and must be changed frequently.

Avoid scratching as it only serves to delay healing. Washing feet in warm water with vinegar is an old home-remedy.
