Many: But you will need to see your doctor to check out the potential causes as well as disease conditions such as psoriasis which may be associated with damage to your nails. I presume that you had not been glueing artificial nails to your current nails.

i have small little clusters of blisters on my feet which i think are dyshidrotic eczema. (had since a kid) but now its flaring up a lot. i previously used steroid(0.05%) treatment but after a few days of not using, it came back. how can i treat it?

Accepted Answer

: You may need a prescription ointment to treat your eczema. If you see a skin doctor, they can treat it more effectively than over the counter treatments. So, get an appointment with a skin doctor to make sure the diagnosis is correct and then provide a more effective treatment. Best of luck to you!!

Question 6

anyone know what is a natural remedy for athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

Athletes foot: Tea tree oil is very useful for the treatment of athletes foot. That product may not be strong enough for complete eradication of the condition. Consult your podiatrist for a more effective way of clearing your athletes foot condition.

Question 7

i've been having trouble with fungus, foot, dandruff & sometimes in my beard. is there any natural treatment?

Accepted Answer

Tea tree oil: Dilute tea tree oil is natural and can be effective (but not as effective as manufactured anti-fungals). Some people also do dilute bleach soaks which can help.

Question 8

i really have callus in my feet. what sholud i do to minimize or to remove  it?
is there any natural treatment for it.

Accepted Answer

Callus: Callus can be a sign of an area on the foot that have excessive pressure; as a result of this, callus forms to protect the foot. You can bathe the feet in warm water and use a sugar exfoliant with a loofah to remove the excess skin. Do not use a blade at home to remove the callus. Use only a loofah with sugar exfoliant and warm water.

Question 9

for a natural remedy...what amts and how long  use castor oil /tea tree oil for treatmt of nail fungus/athletes foot? how do they need diluted, if any

Accepted Answer

Fungus: Natural is GREAT when it works. 
I have found that it is a hit and miss proposition. 
You can follow the label on the bottle of tea tree oil or see your podiatrist for a diagnosis and prescription. 
nail fungus is VERY hard to kill. I would treat both the nails and the athletes foot infection at the same time and get it done as quickly as possible. 
Good luck.
