Additionally, you must take care of your foot hygiene and stay away from nylon socks and shoes with synthetic insoles.

However, there are quite effective natural therapies available if you have issues with fungus infections. Only your feet need to be submerged:

Yogurt

Then, just wash off with cold water.

You simply need to add around 100 milliliters of 3% pharmaceutical grade hydrogen peroxide in one liter of distilled water and soak your feet for 20 minutes every morning and.

 

Corn starch

Starch is a great ingredient in different kinds of pastes that prevent the appearance of unpleasant bacteria and fungi since it is amazing in absorbing the moisture.
