We are pretty sure that it isn't athlete's foot. He's had it for about two weeks and it keeps getting bigger, probably because he keeps scratching it. Does anyone know what this might be, and how he can get rid of it?

Sounds like he got a case of eczema or just a rash from laundry detergent. try using some hydro cortisone cream or even neosporin or tea tree oil..Good luck ...Pediatric nurse for 13 years

It could possibly eczema. It's basically what you said, skin rashes that itch. Most doctors will give you cortozone but I didn't take that for my eczema because it causes bone loss. I use the moisterizer called Cetaphal, and it seems to work. You should check with a doctor though to be sure about what it is. If it came on really quick he could have some kind of infection that needs to be treated right away. Hope you figure out what it is.

sounds like ringworm not athletes foot. Ringworm is a fungus too but doesnt need all the moisture athletes foot does.
All fungi respond to ph change. Liberal application of vinegar will cure it as fast as anything the pharmacy has. Apply at least 4 times a day and let it dry.

Is it scaly and in a ringed circle? (scaly circle, clear inside the circle) If it is, it's ringworm.
And honestly, even if it ISN'T athlete's foot get Lotramin AF and apply it, I promise that it works on a lot of things.
If that doesn't clear it up, head into the drs because you never know what it could be.

Ringworm does not need to be clear in the middle. It is caused by the same fungus that causes athlete's foot and jock itch. He needs some anti-fungal cream.

Bring him to a foot doctor, but ask him first to see if he has a problem with it. O.K

Good sweet loving. Also some Cetaphil soap with a good lotion might work.

Throw him away. He's busted goods, and men are made for one thing and one thing only--their bodies. Toss him out and find a new man with good feet.
