Fungus Feet! Need Prevention and Cures Today

Executive Summary about Fungus Feet by Andy Maingam

As a life long sufferer of fungus feet I can certainly speak with some authority on this subject. The good news about feet fungi such as toenail fungus and athletes foot in particular, is that there are some simple preventative measures which can be taken to vastly reduce the chances of getting this truly awful irritation. The fungus that causes Athlete foot is named Trichophyton and is a skin infection that can, in some cases cause, splitting and bleeding of the skin which can be pretty painful to say the least.

Trichophyton can live in warm, moist places including shoes and socks and manifests itself by the ringworm fungus ("tinea" in medical jargon). There are some general purpose creams and powders that are very effective at combating fungus feet. The athletes foot fungus is actually the same fungus that also causes onychomycosis, (or toenail fungal) infections. Some folks report that Hydrogen peroxide is the best remedy for foot fungus and it's one of the most common home remedies for this affliction when the topical creams fail.

PREVENTION

Dry thoroughly between the toes. This is very, very, important, as fungus just loves damp places. Use an athletes foot powder or cream product after drying, and change your socks after each wash. There's little point in taking care of your feet if the fungus continues to thrive in your shoes, as the moment you stop your foot treatment, the fungus is waiting in your footwear ready to re-infect.
