Planter HH..... Atheletes foot/jock itch...

[BEA]

I think it's call Planter HH when it's your feet.

I have 'global' HH, which means it's everywhere - lucky me.

Anyway, has anyone had real problems with Athletes foot or similar due to your feet being so sweaty?

I've had such problems with my feet since I can remember. I've tried all the creams, all the sprays & all the powders, even canestan. They are very effective for short-term but I have to use them every single day to treat/prevent.
I change my socks a rediculous amount a day, I alternate trainers so one they have chance to try out :?

It seems my life evolves around washing my feet

Any other suggestions? Is there anything on prescription I can take?

I totally feel your pain. Have had athletes foot for over a year now and have tried everything (all creams, sprays, powders, 100% tea tree oil, garlic slices, vics vapo rub...), even been to GP. No luck! But after iontophoresis stopped the sweating I thought I was free of it. No symptoms for 4 months until I have missed a few treatments. The sweat came back and with it the dreaded athletes foot with a vengance I feel like cutting my stupid feet off. So sick of having to constantly wash feet several times a day, treat, change socks, wash everything at 60C and even throw out shoes. I'd love to know if you've managed to cure yours yet? If not, give the ionto a try once you have managed to control the infection a bit. Then you should at least get some relief for a wee while.

have you tried hydrosal gel? it works great. also try soaking your feet in hot water with lemon juice
