Tinea Pedis

Question: What is a quick way to treat tinea pedis, or eczema..not sure what I have on my feet. I was given ointment.? Anything else I can do besides the cream? I changed socks and shoes already.

Answer: Hi, Yes stress is the root cause of eczema in many cases. I have been helping a friend get rid of his psoriasis’ on his skin, it covers about 2 square feet of his arms and hands. He has been spraying on 2.5 PH water for about a month now, and it is working. He is also drinking 9.5 PH water. His wife has MS, and is also drinking the 9.5 PH alkaline water, and is doing much better. You can get free alkaline water - place a wanted add on http://craigslist.com Here is a demo video to watch for the eczema cure as seen in Japan. Sorry but the hospitals in the United States and Europe are not this advanced at this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxLW-HKgQ… Allergies to food include shellfish, garlic, and others. Stop eating things like cheese, then milk products, then anything brewed (beer, yogurt, breads made with yeast). When it goes away, then you have some idea of what you should stop eating. Or use the process developed in Japan, and eat what you want to. Exposure to UV light can also help many who have eczema. Yes walking out in the sunshine, without UV protecting sunblock on will expose your skin condition to UV light. Good Luck !

Question: Is it tinea pedis? I had skin peeling between my toes and also the bottom of my feet. It's not itchy but it feels dry. I applied medication for tinea pedis but it doesn't help? What can it be? Just dry skin? It's winter here in NZ.. I'm not sure which is which now.. Can someone advice please!! Thanks :-)

Answer: It most likely is tinea pedia (athletes foot). It is a fungal infection and now that it is winter in New Zealand you are likely wearing shoes and your feet are probably sweating which is a perfect environment for it to thrive. I would have a doctor have a look at it and tell you what it is for sure and see what they recommend for treating it.

Question: does the causitive agent 'tinea pedis' in the disease athletes food produce spores?

Answer: Yes. Tinea Pedis is a parasitic fungal infection of the epidermis of the foot. It develops when the foot gets infected with fungal spores in the outer layer of the skin. Usually these spores will not thrive on the skin, unless there is a favorable damp milieu like when one sweats while wearing tight footwear during sports or during the warm season. These conditions allow the fungal spores to thrive, divide and multiply, causing symptoms.

Question: Is it dangerous to take cold pill with tinea pedis pill(athlete's foot)? I heard it can cause heart attack in high percentage. Is it really dangerous to take athlete's foot cure pill and cold pill? If so, what kind of pills should I avoid? (need specific pill name...)

Answer: Anti-fungal medications can interact at the level of the liver and are metabolized by the cytochrome p450 system of enzymes. Certain medications are considered dangerous to take with these medications: 1st and 2nd generation antihistamines (NOT loratidine, certirizine or fexofenadine), erythromycin and othe antibiotics, cimetidine, antidepressants, grapefruit juice, anti-convulsants like depakote, tegretol, These interactions increase the risk of a type of heart condition called long QT syndrome that can predispose you to certain arrhythmias. Very often, OTC cold medications contain antihistamines and may interact with the anti-fungals. If you are sensitive to the risk of long QT syndrome and you take these combination of medications, it might cause cardiac problems.

Question: Tinea, ringworm, athletes foot - HELP!!? How is tinea pedis supposed to heal - when using 'lamisil'? I have 'Tinea Pedis' and have been treating it with 'Lamisil' for about 3 weeks. I'm unsure wether or not it is healing. The skin on my heels is building up and then flaking off in thick crusty layers, is itchy, red and extremely irritated. The sides of my feet are also flaking, peeling and itchy. The problem is that i am unsure if this is a reaction to the 'Lamisil' or if this is part of the healing process.

Answer: I tried Lamisil also and found out I was allergic to it. It made mine worse! I would try a doctor because they have alternative medication to treat it which worked for me.
