Athlete’s foot is caused by a fungus called dermatophyte that flourishes and survives in warm moist climate. You can get this fungus from wet floors of locker rooms or public showers or even in swimming pools or whirlpools. Urine therapy is used since ages, it is believed like what you said urinating on your own feet may cure athlete’s foot.
You can try it for yourself and see if it works for you.
As athlete’s foot is a contagious skin infection you should maintain proper foot hygiene by wearing comfortable (preferably natural fiber) foot wear. Keep your feet dry. Use antifungal powder or use baking soda (wash it after 10-15 minutes) as it is very effective against the fungus. Wear cotton socks and keep your foot wear clean from inside.
Besides you can even try these home remedies to cure athlete’s foot -
- Tea tree oil has anti fungal properties. Rub 5-10 drops of oil 3 times a day on yur foot.
- Garlic has antifungal properties and will help to treat the fungus eat every morning or include in your meals.
- Corn starch sprinkled over your toes absorbs the moisture and help to keep your feet dry.
- Include fresh fruits and dark green leafy vegetables in your diet and avoid carbonated beverages, oily foods, baked items (yeast), alcohol and sugar.
