Help! I think I have this. My little pinkie toe on left foot is sort of raw and itches like crazy. I think it's b/c I wear socks now? Anyway, so last night I think maybe baking soda will help dry it out and put some on it. It hurt all night. So now I'm thinking maybe it was corn starch I should have used instead. I don't have any right now and before I go to town I thought maybe someone would know a natural or organic way to treat this problem for me. I don't want to have to use a synthetic ointment yet. Please help!!

Don't forget to wash out the shower with straight vinegar or you can re-infect yourself or others in your family. Wash you socks twice in as hot of water as you can, and don't wear the same shoes twice in a row.
Another thingI use is petroleum jelly. Spread it on really thick and then put a good thick sock over it b4 u go to bed and it should help. It did for me anyways.:) hugs

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work You don't give up.
Jessie, I usually do that at night. It does make the feet nice and soft. But for some reason I have gotten this nasty itch and I am not likin' this ay all. The aloe seems to be helping so far. But will go out later and find some more things to try.
