Full Version: Foot fungus?

I have dealt with some sort of foot fungus for the past few years. I have tried to seek info on it but have never found anything relating to the symptoms I have experienced. A few years ago I noticed tiny little blisters starting to form on the bottom of my feet. They have the appearance of tiny 'pinholes'. There has not been any discomfort as far as pain or itching goes. I've tried several Athletes Foot remedies but none seem to work. Since there has been no pain associated with it I've ignored it. Really it's just unsightly to look at. There has been a foul odor associated with it but my feet do tend to sweat so I've never really thought the two were connected. Any info or suggestions on what this might be would be great!!!

My suggestion to you at this point is to now stop self treating and make an appointment with a podiatrist. There are many over the counter preparations available now and they do not work for everyone. You do not even know at this point if you have a true fungal infection or simply a dermatitis which will never improve with anti-fungal medications. If you have a dermatitis which has an itching component you may need a mild-severe steroid to help reduce the itch. Most dermatologic conditions present as dry, scaling and/or flacky; so it is time for your doctor to take a look. They may need to take a small sample of your skin to send to a lab to make the diagnosis. You do not want to continue self treatment at this point.

Hi,
I have a great product that really works. It is a shoe spray called
NO MORE STINKY FEET
It eliminates odors and kills fungus and bacteria that cause athlete’s foot and toenail infections. It was developed by a physician chemist and used by the military.
You can order it by calling 603-778-7417. End the stinky feet.

Sounds to me like it may be a becterial infection, in which case - no matter how many anti-fungal remedies you try, none will work. Please see your physician or podiatrist for correct diagnosis and treatment immediately. The smell is, indeed associated with the condition you are suffering from. With correct treatment the smell, and the 'pin-holes' will disappear.

Again, I recommend that you make an appointment with a podiatrist for a thorough evaluation and treatment. You owe it to yourself to get better.
