Is it safe to use bleach on athlete's foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better treatments. : Bleach is a very harsh agent to use on your skin. Even diluting it can cause rashes and painful skin breakdown. Better to try an anti fungal cream, wash your feet regularly, and wear clean socks. If over the counter creams don't work, see your doctor for a prescription.
