to remove dead skin cells, use a foot scrub. You may also use a foot soak, that's in warm (not boiling) water. soak your feet then scrub afterwards, paying attention to rough areas. there are lots of brands you can use. u can even try rock salt (but be careful in scrubing) with olive oil.

The clinical name for sthletes foot is "ringworm of the feet"\n\n"Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that thrives in warm, moist conditions and the closed shoes present a good 'incubator' for these organisms, That's why athlete's foot is quite uncommon in primitive cultures where shoes are not worn.\n\nWhenever you take off or put on your socks, it's a good practice to rub a sock up and down your toe webs, That keeps the areas between your toes dry, which is essential in preventing and treating athlete's foot.\n\nBaking soda is a cheaper alternative to expensive foot powders, yet it does essentially the same thing. Either sprinkle it on dry or make a paste by moistening one tablespoon of baking soda with lukewarm water.  Rub the mixture on your feet and between your toes. After about 15 minutes, rinse it off and dry thoroughly.\n\nUse your hair dryer on your feet to dry them more effectively than you can with a towel.  And blowing air from your hair dryer into your shoes is a good way to dry them out after you wear them.\n\nRubbing or spraying antiperspirant on your feet can keep them from sweating, You can use the same brand you use on your underarms. As long as it contains aluminum chlorohydrate, the active drying ingredient, it will work.\n\nDisinfect your shoes, Lysol and other household disinfectants can kill off any living fungus spores. After you take off your shoes, rub the insides with a cloth or paper towel that has a dab of disinfectant. (Then use that hair dryer to dry out the insides of the shoes).\n\nDon't use creams. Antifungal creams have the right ingredients but the wrong way of presenting them. "The problem with creams is that they help trap moisture, especially between toes. Solutions are much better than creams.  While solutions are more effective for remedying, creams can be used to help prevent athlete's foot.\n\nRemove dead skin. When your condition starts to improve, remove any dead skin. Dead skin houses fungus that can reinfect you. To remove it, use a bristled scrub brush on the entire foot and a baby bottle "nipple brush" on toe webs. And brush in the shower, so the dead skin goes down the drain without touching other parts of your body.\n\nI hope this information helps you...  Good luck!!

Mine do that, too.  My Dr. told me it was no big deal and that I should go barefoot more often.  Also, he advised me to buy and use one of those pumus foot scrubbers to use after I had been swimmimg and last thing in the shower after the skin on my feet had softened.  Also, she shouldn't pull the skin off because eventually it will bleed- just let it come off with the scrubber or completely naturally.

Get a ShopVac and get a floor-mat. Wipe your feet off before you go in and put a sign on the door that says 'PLEASE WIPE YOUR FEET.' Can't get much more obvious than that.

I got this from About.com\nHope it helps\n\nWhen it comes to cleaning suede footwear, the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" definitely applies. \n\nTreating your suede or nubuck shoes with a protective spray or finish will help to repel water and prevent stains. If that ship has already sailed, at least you'll know for future reference to protect before wearing. \n\nIn the meantime, here are some tips for cleaning suede shoes and boots after stains have already set. \n\nRemember to first test any treatment or product on a small inconspicuous area before tackling a large stain, and only use products designed specifically for the material of your footwear (suede, nubuck, smooth leather, etc.). \n\nFor heavy stains on suede footwear, use a suede cleaning block (also called a suede eraser). These products will crumble as you rub them across the surface of the footwear, and are great for removing even deeply embedded dirt. \n\nAfter cleaning, the nap of your suede can be restored by using a suede brush. The bristles of suede brushes are usually made from brass, and often you can find both the cleaning block and the brush in one kit.

Remedy for foot odor.\n\nTo eliminate foot odor, soak your feet several times a week in one-third cup of natural apple cider vinegar added to a small pan of warm water.\n\nOr, use tea. The tannic acid found in tea can help eliminate foot odor. Make a pot of tea, without adding sugar or lemon, and pour it into a dishpan. Wait until the tea is no longer too hot, then soak your feet in it for ten minutes. Soap and water should remove any stain the tea leaves on your feet.\n\nSprinkle baking soda inside your shoes to absorb moisture and odor.\n\nGet 15 to 30 milligrams of Zinc per day either alone or in your Multi-vitamin. This should reduce or eliminate the odor within a week or two. The zinc may make the skin more resistant to the bacteria causing the odor. Don't take more than 30 mg. of zinc without medical supervision since high levels of zinc can interfere with the absorption of copper and can damage the immune system.\n\nShoes made with natural materials like leather breathe better than man-made materials like plastic, allowing heat to escape.

An anifungal cream is good. Tinactin and Lamasil are the ones that I have use with the best results. Fungi usually come where there is too much moisture. Make sure that after you come out of the shower to dry your feet completely. And whenever possible air out your feet by removing your shoes.

Vinegar cures a lot of things. Don't add water pure vinegar. NO ONE else answered your ? I was only trying to help I did say no matter what you have the vinegar will cure it.ASK YOUR DOCTOR

GROSSSSS!  First of all, don't walk around barefoot and give it to others.  Go to the doctor to get something for it and try to just wear socks around the house, not shoes, so it can dry out.

I've had similar problems, not that I didn't have the money, just that I didn't want to spend the money on a doctor cutting on my foot. I had a bad one that went on for several months, soaking it and trying to fix it myself, until finally one day it hurt so bad I couldn't walk on it. I used some Peroxide to wash and clean it and then slowly started working with a small pair of scissors, the kind most women have for whatever they use them for lol, to move then end of the nail up out of the place that hurts...it took a while and it was painful at times, but as soon as I got it worked up and could break it off, it felt sooo much better. I know this isn't the safest or healthiest way, but if you keep everything clean and sterile it wouldn't hurt. I fixed mine and it's not bothered me for over 4 months now. Hope this helps a little.

Try a lotion you can probably get from most pharmacies called Zim's Crack Creme.  It's a horrible name, but it works really well.  You might also want to treat yourself to a pedicure that includes a parafin wax treatment.  Exfoliate your feet with a pumice stone, lotion your feet at least twice daily, and wear cotton socks to bed after you've lotioned.  Also try to lotion after you bathe, as your skin will be softer and it will be easier to absorb moisture.  Lotions with tea tree extracts are great for feet too.  Pamper them- they do all the work all the time.  They're worth it. :)

Would you really want to? That's pretty nasty. And if they dont' clean their tools - and let's face it, they don't - then you could leave with VEEERY serious problems. To clear up your fungus, apply Vicks vapor rub to your feet nightly, or more often if you can.

Burts Bees (a company) makes really good foot balm. My heels used to peel really bad, to the point where I was losing layers of skin.  The heel balm really helped.  It is a little hard to come by, but it is available at www.drugstore.com

i would bring it to a professional dry cleaner.  if thats too expensive, they sell suede shoe cleaner spray and an eraser.  so depending on whats dirty or if its a stain that might be a cheaper alternative.  i just bought the eraser for my shoe from footlocker.  it works pretty well.  they have the spray also.
