HIS SINK // SMELLY FEET
There’s no mystery to the cause of the stench—athlete’s foot.
Highly contagious and incredibly obnoxious, this condition spreads in showers, pools and locker rooms. Anywhere water can lie stagnant is a breeding ground for this bacteria.
Hit the ground running to the store and pick up Lamisil cream. Apply generously between toes and over each foot morning and night for six weeks.
Next, apply Zeasorb AF powder to every pair of shoes. Always wear shoes with socks.
If new redness or itching occurs, stop use of the cream as you may be allergic. If after six weeks, you’re still struggling with symptoms, consult a dermatologist.
Beware of potential complications if Athlete’s foot is left untreated.
The condition can migrate to the nail bed and cause thick, discolored nails that require doctor-prescribed treatments for up to six months or longer. If you loathe your toes, let Dr. Jinan take a look and help treat your feet.
