LOL Sunny. is it athlete's foot? Nip to chemist and ask them - they're usually quite good for this sort of thing.

he has that as well..it could be a development of it.. to be honest it sounds disgusting..I would have dealt with it before now

aparently he had it when he was about ten and has had bad feet since

Zippi - my DH has horrible feet so I sympathise but if no GP appointment see chemist. If he trying to keep them clean with water that might be aggravating situation.

yes try tee trea. put drops in water. but make sure feet are dried completely after wards. then boil wash that towel. is he getting his feet aired? like wearing flip flops?

I wondered that I suspect he wears tyrainers all the time and he works standing on his feet

I shall send a message about tea tree and drying carefully

it actually sounds quite risky for infection and blood vessels in feet..think he should have a diabetes test too as he is so skinny and starving too
