Matt Posted 2 May 2006 Posted 2 May 2006 Anyone got any cures or know off any creams/treatments to get rid of it? I've had it since Christmas...Reckon i've caught it from around the pool at my gym Anyway as I said had it since Christmas, I originally bought some cream from the chemist, that didn't work so went to the Doctors they gave some stronger cream - that didn't work so went back, they gave me some even stronger cream that seemed to start to work but then the infection became worse again, so went back they said keep persisting with the cream, I am now booked in for the Doctors again and they said they probably prescribe some tablets that could give the side effects Anyway i've not had too many problems with it up until recently but now i'm feeling pain, its cracking up, it stings, itchy, e.t.c. My mums read about some cream (I think its called Lamisil or something) and apparently it cures and keeps the infection away after just one treatment Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of cream/treatments/cures?

Guest Posted 2 May 2006 Posted 2 May 2006 Wearing flip-flops when walking around the pool or shower areas of your gym, and using a clean, dry flannel every day to dry your feet.
Matt Posted 2 May 2006 Author Posted 2 May 2006 not the sort of thing id want every1 2 no!!! Why? Wearing flip-flops when walking around the pool or shower areas of your gym, and using a clean, dry flannel every day to dry your feet. As soon as it started I learnt and realised about the flip-flops
1884 Posted 2 May 2006 Posted 2 May 2006 You moan about everything. Have you got over ur wristband breaking yet?

DaveyJ Posted 2 May 2006 Posted 2 May 2006 Proponents of urine therapy claim that urine is very effective at killing athlete's foot. Urea, the "active ingredient" in urine, is already used in many drugs and treatments made by pharmaceutical companies to treat athlete's foot. This controversial treatment method recommends urinating on the infected area once a day in the shower. According to supporters, urine therapy not only kills existing fungi, it prevents new fungi from growing in the infected area. Thats what Wikipedia recomends! They do have other stuff though.
DaveyJ Posted 2 May 2006 Posted 2 May 2006 Sadly if you read on... One biochemist states that urea is only used to soften the outer layers of skin so that antifungal drugs can reach fungi below the surface, and that the urea must be concentrated and applied for a long period of time in order to be effective. [1] According to another article about high-concentration urea cream, the compound is used to "dissolve proteins and [as a] denaturant. The ability of urea to macerate [tissue] has been attributed to a 'proteolytic effect', but others attribute the maceration to the hydrating properties of urea." [2] This use requires a high concentration of urea, up to 40%, and extended exposure. Urea itself without the presence of an additional antifungal drug is not referred to in scholarly literature as having antifungal properties. Thus, it is unlikely that urinating on one's feet in the shower will significantly improve a case of athlete's foot.
Guest Posted 3 May 2006 Posted 3 May 2006 I got all excited then, only to be let down. The story of my life.....
Hitesh Posted 5 May 2006 Posted 5 May 2006 Lamosil works! Im using it at the moment and it seems to be working. It doesnt heal the skin much, but prevents it getting infected more!! Use E45 cream to help with the actual skin!
Suffolk_fox Posted 5 May 2006 Posted 5 May 2006 You also need to keep with the treatment for a couple of weeks even after the symptoms disappear!

Clear ointment is far more effective than cream. And trainers encourage reoccurence.
