For athlete's foot you'll need to apply an anti-fungal cream for a few weeks in order to get rid of it completely.

Here are some way that you can use for athlete foot home remedy:

Before applying any of them, wash your feet well.

Here are a few:

1. Tea tree oil

2. Vinegar

Vinegar is highly acidic and very successfully kills the fungi.

Apply it by either soaking cotton pads in it and then on the skin, or by soaking your skin in water to which you have added 2 cups of it.

3. Alcohol

A highly potent disinfectant, it can be used in a combination with vinegar or solely. Dip cotton balls in alcohol and apply the same way you would vinegar.

Warning!

Once the infection has progressed and blisters have appeared, do not try this athlete foot remedy. It will cause even more burning than you blister have already.
