Symptoms of Athlete's Foot
The typical symptoms of athlete’s
foot are characterized as dryness, itching,
stinging, burning, scaling, inflammation
between the toes, and inflammation throughout
other areas of the foot. Athlete’s
foot may also incite the formation of
blisters that can eventually burst and
expose the inner layers of the skin.
This exposure causes pain and swelling
and increases the skin’s vulnerability
to bacterial attack and further spreading
of the infection.
Natural Cures
Preventive
actions are crucial in avoiding athlete’s
foot and the best way to prevent athlete’s
foot is to utilize proper hygiene and
care. To prevent athlete’s foot
you should:
 |
Maintain
dryness around the feet, particularly
around the area between the toes.
Fungus needs moisture to thrive
so fungal growth can be prevented
by the elimination of moisture around
the feet. While at home, maintain
bareness of the feet or remove shoes
occasionally to allow the feet to
breathe and sweat to dry. |
|
Wear socks
made of natural fabric such as cotton
or wool instead of nylon and lycra.
Always wear clean socks and change
them frequently. |
|
Avoid shoes
that are made of synthetic material
such as rubber or vinyl. Instead
wear well-ventilated, light shoes
made of natural, breathable material
because these aid in maintaining
dryness of the feet. |
|
Obtain more
than one pair of shoes and utilize
different pairs on alternate days
because this will assist in reducing
the moisture in shoes and in preventing
fungal growth. |
|
Always use
your own shoes and socks. Do not
borrow shoes or socks from anyone |
|
Use waterproof
sandals while using public facilities
like showers and saunas. |
|
Treat your
feet with antifungal powder on a
daily basis, especially after using
public showers, locker rooms, saunas
and swimming pools. |
Athlete’s
foot may still be contracted despite
preventive actions. Fungal infections
have the ability to grow quickly so
rashes may develop suddenly. Some natural
remedies may be utilized for treatment
during the initial stages but it is
advised to consult a podiatrist or healthcare
provider before trying any of these
remedies.
Tea
Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is known to have antifungal
properties. It can be utilized on the
affected area to obtain relief from
itching and this relief aids in the
healing of lesions and the control of
the infection.
Vinegar
Prepare
a mixture of white vinegar and warm
water with a ratio of one to four, respectively.
Soak feet in this solution twice each
day for 20 to 30 minutes. Continue this
process until the infection completely
disappears or until the irritation stops.
Topical
Application of Baking Soda
Baking
soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is an excellent
fungicide. The topical application of
this white crystalline compound has
the ability to soothe athlete’s
foot. Add one tablespoon of baking soda
to lukewarm water and rub the mixture
on the affected area. Allow the solution
to remain on the area for 15 minutes
and proceed to rinse it off.
Cornstarch
Rub
cornstarch on the affected area to reduce
the itchiness because this will aid
in the healing process and prevent cracks
in the skin that result from scratching.
This remedy may be used simultaneously
with baking soda.
Diet
Foods
containing a significant amount of sugars
and yeast, along with fruits, should
be avoided when an individual is experiencing
athlete's foot because fungus thrives
from these things. Individuals should
consume plain yogurt, green vegetables,
and a large amount of water to aid in
the treatment of athlete's foot.
