Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Foot Fungus Causing Swelling
My feet are constantly battling foot fungus and they are swollen a lot. I ve been tested for Diabetes but I don t have that. The swelling comes and goes a lot. I ve taken medication for the fungus but it still keeps showing up. What can I do to correct this problem?
Have you been tested positive for fungus. To me it seems like a coninfection with bacteria. Get yourself tested again. Discuss with your physician for a course of antibiotics with a complete course of antifungals for eradicating infection. Wear cotton socks, avoid walking barefoot and avoid ill fitting footwear, which aggravates condition.
i hope I was able to address your concern
