I have really annoying athletes foot and i can't find any "over the counter" treatments suitable for use in pregnancy. I'm seeing my midwife tomorrow, but i've been browsing the internet and can't find ANYTHING that i can use on it. Even all the natural products advise against using during pregnancy. I have tried washing frequently and even using salt foot soaks, but nothing seems to be working.
PLEASE HELP!!!

You can use anti-fungal creams while pregnant. Also try this: Soak your foot in a solution of 1 tsp. salt to 1 quart of water. Soak 2-4 times a day for 10 minutes. Dry the foot thoroughly with a hair dryer, then apply anti-fungal cream (Lotrimin or clotrimazole). You may have to use a combination of both creams in order to get on top of it. Make sure you are wearing open shoes (like sandals) that expose the foot to as much air as possible....no socks either.
My son had a severe case of it, and this is what the pediatrician told us to do. I have seen great improvement when we do this treatment strictly.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/KnoEi
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Eat lots of yogurt. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection, just like yeast infections. The active cultures in yogurt are good for both.

Have you tried soaking your feet in tea. Brew tea (gallon) like you are making sweet tea but don't add sugar, soak feet for 10 minutes and pat dry. Do this for 3 days at least 2 times a day.

I know that this sounds bad but my 7 year old had terrible athletes foot also and my husband told him to pee on his feet, He did and it went away. Good luck to you.

I know that when your not pregnant that tilex or anything like that will kill it quick, Just wash your shower barefoot.
Ask your midwife tomorrow, also peeing on your feet is supose to work (the main ingredent in a lot of creams is urea (pee))

I'm in the same position! Someone told me to use Listerine (mouthwash!) and it does seem to help... I'm not sure how long it will take to clear up, but something HAS to be done about the itching!!

Never take advice online. Wait until you talk to your midwife.
