Athlete's foot is an infection caused by a fungus of the genus Trichophyton that thrives in warm, moist environments, such as between the toes. This condition is also called frostbite, athlete's foot, and tinea pedis.

Athlete's foot can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, peeling, burning, and a foul odor in the affected area. In addition to physical discomfort, athlete's foot can also affect self-esteem and quality of life, causing shame, anxiety, depression, and social isolation.

O pé de atleta é tratado com pomadas antifúngicas, que devem ser aplicadas no local conforme recomendação do dermatologista. É importante completar o tratamento e manter a área sempre seca para evitar exacerbações e outras infecções de pele.

To prevent athlete's foot, it's important to pay attention to hygiene and footwear, including:

Wash your feet with warm water and soap and dry them thoroughly, including between your toes.

Moisturize your feet frequently, but avoid moisturizers with high concentrations of urea if you have diabetes.

Keep nails short and straight to avoid dirt accumulation and injury.

Wear shoes that fit your foot size and shape, preferably breathable shoes.

Do not wear closed-toe shoes or wear them for long periods of time without cotton socks.

Close your shoes and expose them to the sun after use.

Use an antifungal spray or powder on your feet and shoes.

Do not walk barefoot in public areas such as locker rooms and swimming pools.

Do not share anything that touches your feet, such as socks, shoes, or nail clippers.

Kerassentials is a revolutionary breakthrough formula to prevent itchy toes, crumbly yellow nails, toe fungus, etc.

Put tea tree oil on it.

It is a strong anti fungal and anti bacterial while it’s at it, and also keeps the nail hydrated enough that it softens it and keeps it from “pinching”. Pinching happens as the fungus causes the nail to thicken and stiffen, which causes the nail bed to keep losing more circulation and start to die and become further vulnerable to the fungus because your immune system can’t reach it to fight it off.

My mom had already had her nail surgically removed, and when it grew back and was still curling horribly, they said they’d probably have to operate again and remove the whole nail bed to get rid of it or she would probably lose part of her toe and suffer permanent nerve damage.  

She had been fighting with it for years at this point.

So finally, she accepted it was worth it to try putting tea tree oil on it and let me get her a bottle. 

It caused her nail to stop developing into “pincer toe”. It flattened out and after a while the infection cleared. 

She’s fine now and didn’t have to have her toenail completely removed. The nail is healthy.

You can put other anti-fungal creams on with it too, but putting tea tree oil on it once or twice a day before bed will absolutely help with nail fungus.

That’s the miracle secret that can prevent you from needing surgery.

It’s like 11$ at your pharmacy and you don’t need a prescription. You don’t need to buy my book or pay for a seminar. 

You can use it diluted preventatively too if you have to go places in bare feet that other people’s feet touch, or if you are prone to foot infections. Don’t put it on ahead of time in case someone else has allergies to it, but when you get home and clean up you can dilute tea tree oil with olive oil or another edible carrier oil and rub your feet and nails with it for preventing infection. 

Wash your hands after so you don’t get it in your eyes or on pets and stuff. It’s an oil so it can stain textiles too, like any lotion or oil will. 

Brought to you by me being sick of seeing youtube ads that shove diseased toenails in front of my eyeballs and talk about what “top doctor” has to say about it.

Put tea tree oil on it.

You can even clean out an old nail polish bottle and put it in there and just brush it on with the brush.

I hate these shitty predatory ads about miracle cures, and I hate them even more when they’re about home breathing and lung clearing devices during a corona pandemic. I fucking... It enrages me.

But the closest you will get to a simple miracle cure for most skin infections is just to put tea tree oil on it. Don’t inhale it too much, get it in your eyes or use it internally [especially undiluted]. You might smell like a reptile who’s having a skin infection treated for a while, but it’ll help a fuckton if not outright curing it.
