Why can toothpaste treat athlete's foot?

Athlete's foot is a very common disease that mainly affects the feet. It has a serious and destructive effect on the feet and causes symptoms of infection in the feet. This infection often releases a lot of odors, which are extremely smelly and are called foot odor. This odor is very uncomfortable. Many people use toothpaste to treat athlete's foot. Let's take a look at why toothpaste can treat athlete's foot?

Toothpaste cannot cure athlete's foot. On the contrary, it will aggravate the development of athlete's foot. Therefore, it is not a wise move.

General approach:

The first method: We can use garlic to remove athlete's foot. Garlic has a strong bactericidal ability. Rub garlic on your feet continuously every day and stick to it. The effect is very good.

The second method: Pour the bottled beer into the basin without adding water, then wash your feet, soak them in beer for about 20 minutes, and then take them out and rinse them. This method needs to be done twice a week and you must stick to it.

The third method: You can also use traditional Chinese medicine to treat athlete's foot, such as Zuqingsan. Soak one packet a day in boiling water. The skin will fall off after about the second packet, and it will be cured after about 4-5 packets. But be careful: try to replace your socks and shoes with new ones, or soak them in Chinese medicine to kill the fungus.

The fourth method: Pay attention to cleanliness, keep your skin dry, keep your feet clean, wash several times a day, and change your socks frequently. This is very important. If you don’t do it well, everything will be in vain.

Other methods:

1. Mix vanishing cream with vinegar into a paste and apply it to the affected area. Use it as soon as it is prepared. Mild cases can be cured with one use, while severe cases can be cured with 2-3 uses.

Comment: This method is inappropriate. Although the acidic environment of vinegar can inhibit the growth of bacteria, it may be difficult to cure severe cases after 2-3 times.

2. Wash your feet with water boiled with eggplant roots and salt to cure athlete's foot.

Comment: I have heard patients mention that eggplant roots and salt water may have a certain inhibitory effect on bacteria, but the specific efficacy has not been clinically verified.

3. Take 1000 grams of medical stone, add 2000 grams of boiling water and soak it. Use this water to scrub every day. It has significant therapeutic effects on athlete's foot, acne, eczema, prickly heat, etc.

Comments: Medical stone is a natural medicinal mineral that contains a variety of trace elements and can nourish the skin. It is indeed effective for acne, prickly heat, etc., but its effect on treating athlete's foot is uncertain.
