NOT FOR THE 'SQUEAMISH'....
Between my toes would 'scab' up and my heels looked like they had 'craters' in them.
The Navy even allowed me a 'white socks' chit as had a 'fear' of the dye from black socks causing problems??
I put up with it for years and was talking to a 1930s type China Marine who happened (among other things) to have come up with an STD that required a 'reaming' once a quarter...I had figured it would be easier to 'chop it off' than to put up with a 'roto rooter'/snake treatment.
Anyway he suggested I use the old 'farmers' treatement for extremely chapped hands, take a whizz on my feet and toes on a regular basis.
It didn't take long before it cleared up and I have NEVEr had a recurrence.
Same treatment works for jellyfish stings. Pee on it.
Makes me wonder if the Brit maritime history has anything to do with their national pee fetish?

Way back when.. a friend and I were diving in the Bahamas.
Along came a very large and frightening fish. We thought it best to get out of the water. In our haste, we were both skewered by sea urchin spines, many of them.
They said it was many miles to the local hospital and$$$ cash only... or do as the locals, pee on the injuries.
It worked! Although I had many black spots on the inside of my fingernails, for a long time.
Your note and others point to the yeast/fungus ‘clinging ‘ to my skin. Perhaps soaking in a bath of the lucky number PH, might keep the bugger at bay?
