The fastest home remedy for foot fungus is to keep the area clean and dry. Start by washing your feet with soap and warm water every day and drying them thoroughly after. Additionally, you can use an antifungal foot powder or cream to help combat the fungus.
If the fungus is more severe, you can use over-the-counter medications such as Lamisil or Lotrimin. These medications can be applied directly to the affected areas and should be used as directed. For more severe cases, a doctor may prescribe a prescription strength antifungal medication.
In addition to medications, there are other natural remedies that can help treat foot fungus. One such remedy is vinegar, either white or apple cider. Vinegar can be applied directly to the skin and should be done twice a day for several weeks. Another remedy is tea tree oil, which is an effective antifungal agent. Tea tree oil should be applied topically to the affected area and left on for 10 minutes before washing off.
Finally, it is important to keep the area clean and dry and to wear shoes and socks made of natural fibers that can help wick away moisture. Additionally, it is important to replace your shoes and socks regularly to help prevent the fungus from spreading.
