Are your feet itchy especially right after you take off your shoes?
Have you noticed that your toes are constantly inflamed and reddish?
Then, you are probably dealing with athlete's foot, an annoying fungal infection.
What should you do in this case?
Well, I'm going to show you the best remedies for athlete's foot that will surely work!
Note: This guide is based on my own research on treating athlete's foot.
1. OTC Creams
OTC creams or over-the-counter creams are a remedy which can be easily found in drugstores.
What are those? They are a special type of creams.
They can be bought from drugstores or supermarkets without a doctor's prescription.
Do they actually work?
Well, they can help you eliminate your fungal infections.
How come?:
- Hydrate your skin.
- Prevent the infection from spreading.
- Have antifungal properties.
Make sure that you choose a good quality cream and start your treatment!
How should you use it?:
- Wash your feet before using the cream.
- Dry them with a towel.
- Apply the cream on the skin and wait for it to completely soak in.
- Make sure that you wash your hands before and after using the cream.
- You don't want the infection to spread to your fingers or fingernails.
This infection usually appears in people who wear tight-fitting shoes.
So, after you apply the cream you'd better wear loose shoes, that allow the air to circulate.
Or you can walk barefoot if you like, but only in a clean space.
How often should you use the cream?
That depends on the instruction that you might receive from your pharmacist.
So, follow those instructions and ease your discomfort!
I'm sure that this remedy will be helpful in case you are dealing with athlete's foot infection!
SUMMARY
OTC creams can be bought without needing a doctor's prescription.
They are useful for athlete's foot infection because they keep your skin moisturized.
So, apply them to the affected area and stay away from close-fitting shoes.

- As a carrier oil, you can use coconut, jojoba, or olive oil.
Maybe you are wondering how much carrier oil you should use to dilute the tea tree oil.
