(Baonghean.vn) - Long rainy and stormy days often expose you to dirty water, which can cause your feet to get athlete's foot (your feet become cracked, itchy, and sometimes peeling, the skin is eaten away, exposing the flesh underneath, especially between the toes...). Here are simple and effective ways to treat athlete's foot at home.

Dry tea:Chew the dried tea leaves and mix them with water to drink every day. Wash your feet, dry them with a cloth, then stuff the chewed dried tea leaves between your toes, where the athlete's foot is. It may sting a little at first, but it will feel very comfortable afterwards. And just using this method once can cure athlete's foot immediately.

Guava buds:Crush a handful of guava buds with a pinch of salt and rub between the toes. Do this 4-5 times a day, very effective in treating athlete's foot.

Salt water:Salt water soothes wounds, kills bacteria and heals the skin. Rinse with warm salt water and soak your feet in it for about 10 minutes. Warm salt water will kill all bacteria in the wound. Apply ointment or special medicine to heal immediately.

Young squash leaves:Similar to guava buds. Crush young squash leaves with a pinch of salt and rub between your toes 4-5 times a day and you will feel better.

Piper lolot:Boil a pot of betel leaf water then steam your feet until the water is lukewarm then soak your feet in it.

Purslane:Fresh purslane, take the part of the plant above the ground, about 50-100g fresh, wash, drain, chop, crush, add a little salt, mix well, then put everything in a clean gauze, dab lightly on the affected area, dry and dab. Do this once a day. Do this many times, the ulcer will dry, shrink and stop itching.

Ginger:Ginger is also a very effective "medicine" in treating athlete's foot. Boil a pot of water, then add a crushed piece of ginger to the boiling water and boil for another 20 minutes. Wait for the water to cool, then use it to soak your feet twice a day.

Alum:Use alum to melt, boil until the alum dries into a white powder, grind it into a fine powder. Wash your feet and apply alum powder to the painful skin area, avoid water during treatment.

After soaking, use a clean towel to dry your feet and avoid water. Alum will make the bacteria disappear and effectively reduce itching.

Betel leaves:If it is a girl, use 9 leaves. If it is a boy, use 7 leaves in 1/2 liter of water. Boil and let cool, then add a little alum. Stir the solution well and apply it to the painful areas, several times a day. Do this for 3 days to reduce symptoms very quickly and safely.

Vinegar:The method is very simple, you just need to mix 1 or 2 cups of vinegar into a small basin of water, then use the water mixed with vinegar to soak your feet for 10 - 15 minutes. Then use a soft cloth to dry your feet.
