MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
well I'm beginning to believe that my body has decided to turn against me, after picking up athletes foot at the bloody health club! how, despite spending as little time as possible in the changing rooms I had noticed a more than liberal amount of what I guessed to be talc thrown around most days, only now do I suspect that it was probably athletes foot powder! (if I ever catch that fxcker I'll give him a more than a piece of my toe!) So all well and good I got a tube of Lamisil Once (a bloody tenner!) and applied it, my right (little) toe had shed a few layers of skin within the, erm, flange but my left toe was unbroken but felt as though it was about to join its opposite part in rottenfootdom.
This morning I awoke at six and my left toe is stinging like a mofo, red and swollen like some kind of demented angry chipolata, I can see red speckling beginning to go up my foot.
Doctors tomorrow, its sore to walk on, any suggestions until then? I've got some Daktarin and I'm going to be using it with reckless abandon unless anyone suggests otherwise.
What can I do? will I lose a leg?
so not only is working out boring but also dangerous ?
I suggest you go to A&E and don't wait for your leg to selfdestruct 🙁
Sorry mate but Kernow immigration rule number 59 (b) sub section 4 states 'no one with athletes foot can move to Cornwall, even if they aren't too bad at cooking' 😛
HTH
i tried Everything to get shut of athletes foot to no avail and it finaly went when i cut Mushrooms outta me diet (on advise) 🙂 HTH
isopropyl alcohol on a swab will kill it. It might sting for a bit but it kills it.
spending as little time as possible in the changing rooms
athletes foot's much more likely in those who rush out of changing rooms without drying their feet properly (and watching the floorshow furtively while they are in there)
When I'm proudly "towelling my back" at the gym, my meat & two gyrate anticlockwise. Anyone about 6ft tall and a "clockwiser" like to join me for a X-factor audition ?
MrNutt ?
no one with athletes foot can move to Cornwall
There a minimum requirement of 6 toes on each foot though.
oh, time for an update!
well it appears that the application of the Lamisil (I DO NOT recommend this product!) hardened the skin on the affected area where applied, on my right toe it was not too much of a problem as the infected infection had broken the skin, in fact a few grisly layers came away prior to the application. However...
...the left toe had not split, the Lamisil caused the skin to harden and not break, trapping the infection, this caused a build up of pus which I have just released with the use of a sterilized scalpel, disgusting! I can only assume that the swelling, red speckling/spread of infection is a direct result of the infection being trapped under the skin. All wounds have now been cleaned with alcohol hand wash, treated with Clotrimazole 2% w/w and lightly dressed. I'll let you know if I still have toes by the morning but right now it feels a hell of a lot better!
bollocks to Lamisil, its shite!!

tell me about your mother....
I'd suggest spending as little time in the changing rooms as possible, difficult I know, especially as you are partial to viewing gentlemen engaging in wnagulatory displays whilst towel drying 😉
Cheezyfeet?!? Whyyou've got a nerve! (I'm now sat in the doc's waiting room!)
hehehe!
Trust you have a nice attractive lady doctor!
OMG it's getting worse!!
Well you definitely can't relocate to Pastyland with your festering peds now. We don't need foot & mouth back down here again 😆
