Why isn't the bleach soak clearing up my athlete's foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleach: I don't know who told you to soak in bleach , but stop right away. All you will get is a chemical burn . Topical antifungal medication is your new best friend - after you let your skin recover from the bleach. See you podiatrist for assistance .
