Theres yellow stuff in my socks is it a foot fungus?
I wear socks all of the time. Could that be a reason my feet stink all of the time and have started to peel? I haven't noticed fungus. Please confirm.
Due to toenail fungus, do I need to add something special to my laundry, to disinfect the socks and towels that come in contact with my toes?
My big toenail has some really bad fungus & detaching at the base of the toe. Im trying to get an appointment with the podiatrist but they arent calling me back. Do I sleep with a sock on to make sure it doesnt fall off? Will it make fungus worse?
Derm told me I mightve fungus on 1 toenail and prescribed some manicure (no antibiotic). I put it on several times; broken nail fell off and grew into healthy in 2-3 month. So I dont have fungus anymore and cant transmit to others? Tired of socks?
