Try tea tree oil. If for some reason you do contract the fungus there are a few simple remedies. The first and probably the most effective that I have found is tea tree oil. In the last few years tea tree oil has become extremely popular and is available in just about any health stores and now in many grocery stores. Or try searching for homeopathic remedies products that will help you to overcome athletes foot naturally.

Hi,

Fungus and bacteria will be killed with hydrogen peroxide on contact. You can try applying a little bit to the toes (all of them) and the skin within about 6" of the toes.

Make sure that your shoes are clean, and that you use clean socks if your feet get sweaty, or at least change them frequently.

Not wearing your shoes in the house will help, so when you get home from school, put on clean socks, that are not moist (like the socks you wore all day long) and then wear those at night.

Rather than use full strength hydrogen peroxide, try mixing it with about 50% to 75 % water. This will be easier on your skin.

Listerine will also kill many bacteria on contact, but your mom might ask why you are using a bottle a night! Putting about a ounce into a small container, and then applying with a cotton ball or wash cloth will sort of do the same thing, kill the bacteria (fungus) by keeping it wet with the antiseptic in the mouthwash.

Remember that the fungus cells will spread about 6-12" when you are wearing socks at school, so you need to clean the whole foot. Soak in warm and soapy water to help clear it up.

I was talking with someone that had athletes foot. It is also difficult to cure, and I told him that a clean shower floor is critical to the cure. Using a mixture of about 2 ounces of bleach and some warm water, this will kill any bacteria or fungus in the shower pan.

Good Luck !

OK, you can starve out the fungus by going on the yeast and sugar free diet for a few weeks.
That means no bread, pizza, cheese, milk, fruit, mushrooms, soy sauce, fermented foods/drinks, sugar, vinegar, mayo or pickles.
I read that this clears up toe nail fungus on the Internet.

toe nail fungus is caused when you have injured your nail bed- usually from dropping something heavy on it,. and then the fungus sets in. it is a very hard thing to heal, and it takes a long time. you can get a prescription from the doctor, it is called Lamisil, and it comes in tablets or a spray that you spray on the toenail. the pills have to be taken for a year. like i said it is a very hard thing to get rid of because the fungus is underneath the nail and even the spray cannot often get at it. listerine is a non prescription alternative, but again, if the fungus is toward the base of the toe, the mouthwash will not get near it, and you will still need the pills. they do not have to do blood work every 2 to 4 weeks, they usually give you refills to last 6 months, and then you go back to see the doctor again.

this might sound odd,
soak it in listerine! yes the mouthwash, for about 15 minutes every night.

hope this helps!
