Re: Rubbing Alcohol (Reply to this comment)

Ok. I have it.
Very simple and effective.
Go to your hardware store and get some aquarium silicone sealant/caulk.
Make sure it smells like vinegar when you open it. You should be able to buy a smallish tube with a screw cap.
First. Dont apply to broken skin, cause I think it will hurt a lot, and Im not sure what else will happen.
Smear on a thinnish layer. I reckon about 3mm depending on how long you can wait for it to dry. It should be a clear sticky gel and smell strongly of Vinegar. Use something to apply it so you dont get it all over your fingers. Its great for getting between your toes etc.
Drying, It will vary depending on how much you applied, and the humidity in the air and temperature. 2 to 15 minutes?
When the silicone gel is drying, It will smell like vinegar or Acetic Acid as its also known. ACID yes and its pretty strong too, It will tickle the tough and sting the weak. It just tickled me :)
Like what lots of people have said above vinegar is great for the fungal infection. Did you know acetic acid is also a large part of vaginal fluids? Anyway, it could sting a bit, more if your skin is inflamed. Thats just the acid burning into your skins nerves!
Now the great thing about this is you put it on, let it dry and leave it on as long as you can. Up to a week? The acid is a byproduct of the silicone drying, this is actually trapped between your skin and the silicone layer. It will kill the fungal infection, it will also protect your skin and let it heal, and stop fungal spores from growing. The silicone will actually let your skin breath too.
Try a little area first!
Dont coat your self in the silicone!
Dont be an idiot!
Dont over do it!
Dont use it to prevent an infection.
It is acid it will burn your skin if you keep using it.
See a doctor!
You must kill the spores in your clothes, shoes, bed clothes floors carpets, bathrooms etc.. or it will come back and get you. Sunlight is great for this.. DONT go putting silicone all over stuff!! Thats just stupid. Hey! Vinegar or bleach could be good for cleaning things?
It will probably come off by itself after a few days or you can peel it off once its dry pretty easily. Re apply if you need to.
Good Luck
Let me know how you go!!!
Cheers
Mat
*Next topic.. crazy/supa glue and duct/electrical tape! great for cuts!

Rubbing Alcohol (Reply to this comment)
by symbiosis
Will get rid of the worst case of Athlete's Foot in only a week or two. I fought it for over two years, using all sorts of creams. It went away for a while, then always came back.
However, I finally read about using rubbing alcohol. You just buy some cotton balls, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Apply the alcohol to the affected areas once in the morning and once at night. Wait a minute or two for the alcohol to evaporate, then go on with your normal routine. Within two weeks, my Athlete's foot was gone, and has never returned. Rubbing alcohol is cheap and a million times more effective than all those expensive creams or ineffective folk remedies.
