I’ve had this since early 2023. The temptation to itch it is awesome and itching it feels even better.

Why does it come back? Can it from from shoes? If it comes form shoes do I need to get all new shoes because the shoes are contaminated?

[JudyJudyt]

If I massage someone feet by oil with my hands for 20 minutes, can it transfer to my hands?

[Submersed]

Interesting how first my feet just smelled really bad and I kept trying to get rid of it then it went away and one day I just noticed it got super white and flakey

[gyunayify]

How can you say that it's easily treatable at home and then go on listing chemicals that nobody understands.

[stuffroom]
