A tip for athlete's foot.....gross, I know.
Ok so for the past month or so I have had athlete's foot - itchy, burning, peeling skin in between my toes - not fun. I have NO idea where I got it from and my DH did not get it even though we share the same shower. I suspect it may be a weird - very weird - pregnancy symptom but I can't confirm that.
Anyway, I couldn't take it anymore and I couldn't use the OTC creams for it, etc. so I found a natural remedy online.
Take a spray bottle and mix 1/2 with water and 1/2 with white vinegar - and after showering, spray the toes and let dry. It seems to be doing the trick after using this method for about 4 days now.
Another remedy I read about online is to put Vicks Vapo Rub! in between the toes and supposedly that clears it up too.
HTH
GROSS!

I had this for the last few months of being pregnant...people thought I was crazy for thinking it was a pregnancy related issue...and I am still convinced it was!! However, just keep in mind that it may come back...I had it for a while after DS was born...I finally broke down and went to a podiatrist, who perscribed some pretty good cream!
