Public Showers
So, I showered at the gym today, but I'd forgotten to bring flip-flops, so I went barefoot. What can I do to my feet to discourage the growth of any kind of fungus I may have unwittingly picked up?

Re: Public Showers
I'm not an expert but I would suggest tea tree oil if you have any.

Re: Public Showers
Soak 'em in hot water and rub 'em down with a pumice stone. Then TTO.

Re: Public Showers
I don't have pumice or TTO.
What about baking soda? Coconut oil? Garlic? (No idea; just spitballing here.)

Re: Public Showers
treat your feet with red apple cider vinegar or peroxide then let them dry and keep them dry. It can't grow on dry feet.

Re: Public Showers
apple cider vinegar
tea tree oil coconut oil (this works the best, IME) Some people (like me) are really prone to fungal infections while others never get them. |

Re: Public Showers
DD gets them often, so this was very helpful for me. I may dilute the vinegar, though. We use coconut oil, tea tree oil (dilute), yogurt applied directly to skin, and water/baking powder mixture.
