Every so often a fungal infection would break out as a result of perspiration not being really thoroughly cleaned away each day. The itching would drive me mad, and the medical profession suggested ointments you are no doubt familiar with; Canesten, Fucidin, Pevaryl and such like. These had varying degrees of success but the infections always returned, and I noticed they were almost always in exactly the same places. \n \nI realized that keeping everything clean was the most important thing I could do preventatively, and every day I bathed and washed the silicon lining with soap. This was still not enough, and one day when using some antibacterial handwash in a hospital somewhere it dawned on me to get some for my leg. I began using a little on my stump every day after a bath as a final thing before getting dressed or going to bed. The handwash rubs in and the residue evaporates in a few seconds so the stump is completely dry when the sock goes on, more than when using a towel and the various aforementioned creams. From the very first day I tried this, many months ago, I have not had a single itch. A regular 250 ml bottle of the stuff has lasted me nine months or more. \n \nI used to have Athletes feet, (I only have one now, of course), and until recently I would get the occasional irritation recurring, and realized that it was more or less the same as what I had been getting on my stump. I have since started to rub the same antibacterial handwash onto my foot as well as the stump every day after my bath. I have had no itches since and the skin on my foot has virtually stopped shedding. Of course you need to have a daily bath or shower and always wear clean socks, preferably not all artificial fibres, but this will keep that awful athletes foot away form ever. Simples as they say. \n \nIf this puts Canasten, Pevaryl and Fucidin out of business, well, you had your day, and maybe you’ll find something else to do, but what it should do is put doctors to shame for not having thought of it, or if they did, never telling me. \n \nAll I ask, if you find this information useful, is to go and have a look at my blog of silly rhyming stories; I want lots of visitors! Stephenofbowleyfarm.blogspot.co.uk \n \nMany thanks to one and all, and I hope you will never suffer again. \n \nI think doctors, who have to deal with much more serious conditions every day, may have been rather complacent about things like Athlete’s Foot, or, cynically, been receiving commissions from the makers of ointments and powders which frankly leave a lot to be desired. \n \nI got Athletes Foot at boarding school in about 1969 along, I suspect, with every other pupil there, and finally got rid of it at the beginning of this year in 2012! In the meantime I must have used countless tubes of cream which, although they are capable of clearing up a fungal infection, do nothing to prevent its reappearance. I am astonished and dismayed that the medical professions, including of course the whole lot who deal with my amputation and prosthetics have never suggested using the antibacterial handwash that I have found so effective. You need only a tiny amount, rub it into your feet, the excess simply evaporates, and your feet are sterilized, clean and dry. Two quid’s worth will last half a year or more. \n \nPerhaps I was the last to hear, not the first, and that everyone knew this all along, but just in case you didn’t, I would like to think that some other people out there get permanent relief from what is a very uncomfortable affliction. Tell the kids. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ![]() | \r\n

I work on a construction site, so my feet are in steel-toed leather construction boots for about ten hours a day, five days a week. After a hard day's work, when I come home, my feet are hot, wet, sweaty, and itchy. I am pretty sure I have athlete's foot.
I have tried the usual creams they sell in the pharmacies for athlete's foot: Canesten, Tinactin, Micatin, etc. I hate squeezing those small tubes (like toothpaste tubes) and rubbing the cream over parts of my foot. So far, these creams have not been a permanent solution. And how do you know you've covered all the necessary area of your foot, so that the bacteria doesn't come back and re-infect your foot with the athlete's foot bacteria, or whatever it is? So now I am wondering, are there any other treatments for athlete's foot? I think I'd like a solution I could just soak my whole foot in every evening. Is something like that available? That way, I think I'd cover my whole foot by soaking them in a bucket or something. And it would be a lot more comfortable than smearing cream on myself. Any suggestions? |
