Have you tried putting white athletic tape on your heels...you could also wrap with "pre-wrap" (so the tape doesnt stick to your skin, it looks like yellow foam on a roll, really thin stuff).\nYou could also try "Mole Skin"\n\nGood Luck!

There was an infomercial for Didi-7 a few years ago.  That stuff worked FANTASTIC.  Other than that, try anything (other than chlorine bleach) that whitens gently.  Toothpaste works, depending on the brand.\n\nMy step-daughters had to have perfect white sneakers for cheerleading every game, but they did cheers on a cinder track & would ruin them every time.

On my basketball shoes I use Windex. Works pretty well most of the time.

There are a couple of options:\n\n1) Astro-Glide. This product is used mostly by runners. It works ok. \n\n2) Gold-Bond. This is my product of choice. There are two types: Medicated (Yellow Bottle) and Extra Medicated (Green Bottle). \n\nThis powder has no smell (like baby powder) and it works great. If you get chaffed, throw some of this powder down there and you will be healed.

With athletes foot the problem is because its a fungus the spores live in your socks, shoes and carpets... basically anywhere your feet have been! So the best plan is to carry on treating it for at least 5 days after your symptoms have disappeared. Then switch to an antifungal powder which you can use on a regular basis to keep it at bay :-)

Tiger Liniment from the Health Food Store. Also, I have this product from Yves Rocher that is purple and has horsetail grass and eucalyptus in it, and it feels wonderful. Sometimes it is helpful to soak in Epsom Salts.

Use Listerine mouth wash. Soak your toes in it.

It very much sounds like tinea pedis, or athlete's foot.  Nonprescription antifungals usually are used first. These include terbinafine (Lamisil AT), miconazole (Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF), and tolnaftate (Tinactin, Tinaderm). \nPrescription antifungals are used if nonprescription medications are not successful or if you have a severe infection. These include naftifine (Naftin), butenafine (Mentax), miconazole (Monistat Derm), and clotrimazole (Lotrimin). Griseofulvin is a prescription medication that slows the growth of fungi. It is used to treat athlete's foot. If over the counter medication does not make it improve, please see your doctor.

Try pure vaseline -petroleum jelly. Wash you feet, dry them and apply a thick layer, and wear a breathable cotton socks. You will see remarkable smoothness in a few days.

You can try vicks vapo rub as that is what the podiatrist recommend.  One other treatment is to soak his foot in warm water with tea tree oil added and then use the tea tree oil directly on the nail several times a day.

Interesting, so if it happens ONLY when you bath horses and you use water tight boots then it can't be related to anything in the water or soap your using. That would be my first guess that your sensitve to the soap or other chemical your using. If you mean sensitive by allergic reaction then you will have to narrow down whats toching your feet before it happens. It could be anything from your socks to the material in the boots thats causing the reaction. If it presists see your Dr.

They say that if you rub your feet with baking soda it helps. Also i am sure you can find all sorts of medicated powders in your local pharmacy. If it is a real problem talk to your doctor about it maybe he/she will have a medical solution to it:)

Not a substance, but a very effective device. Yaktrax attached to the bottom of your shoe/boot etc. will work very well on any snowy, icy slick surface. The basic model is $19.95 and the extreme (if you jog or run on snow/ice) is $29.95. Check them out at www.HerringtonCatalog.com
