△There’s fungus growing on the tips of my feet!

Around the world, about 1 billion people suffer from fungal diseases such as athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot is a common disease, with 1 in 7 people suffering from it. Athlete’s foot is a representative fungal disease. The symptoms become more severe in the hot and humid summer, which is the environment that fungi like. It has become a disease that we cannot help but hide, ‘for fear of contagion’ or ‘for fear of being thought of as unsanitary’. Many patients suffer from athlete’s foot for a long time, enduring the pain and neglecting it. Is it really an incurable disease? If you manage it well, you can be freed from athlete’s foot that has lasted for decades. In the ‘Terror of Athlete’s Foot! How to Get Rid of It All’ episode, we reveal everything about ‘athlete’s foot’.

△I have decided to say goodbye to my long-standing athlete’s foot

Mr. Yeomyeong-gu (male, 69) has been wearing rubber slippers all year round for 20 years. He says that he can’t stand the pain when he wears other shoes because of the hard calluses that have formed on the soles of his feet due to athlete’s foot. It’s not just the calluses that bother him, he says, that he feels like he’s walking with coins between his soles and slippers. The itching that gets worse in the summer is now unbearable. Even if he uses medicine, it only works for a short time, and the hope that it will get better has long since disappeared… Will he ever be able to get rid of this athlete’s foot?

Mr. Han Seung-bu (male, 65) is also very worried about athlete’s foot for a long time. The athlete’s foot started on his feet and spread to his toenails, and now he can’t even cut his toenails with nail clippers. And that’s not all. He sits in the same spot for hours every day drawing, so he sweats and his groin area itches. Could the athlete’s foot have spread to other parts of his body? He is even more worried because he has diabetes. They say that it is dangerous for diabetics to leave athlete’s foot untreated, and he wants to get rid of it before it gets worse.

Choi Jong-hyeon (female, 58) must wear overshoes even when wearing slippers. This is to hide her toenails that have become unrecognizable due to toenail fungus. Although she has a confident and active personality, she always hides her feet. The only thing that destroys her self-esteem is toenail fungus. She has tried everything to turn her toenails back. She says she has tried all the folk remedies that are said to be good. She soaked her feet in a mixture of soju and vinegar, and even applied acetic acid, but it only had the opposite effect of melting away her flesh. Now, it seems like there is really no other way, so she has called for an SOS from her precious body.

Mr. Choi Tae-hwan (male, 63) is also troubled by his noticeably deformed fingernails and toenails. He is increasingly intimidated by people’s gaze and is busy hiding his hands and feet. In addition, his fingertips and toes itch so much that he bites his hands or kicks his toes on the ground to endure the pain. He has visited all the hospitals known for athlete’s foot, but he has not found a proper answer. Could there be another problem? He came to your precious body as a last hope.
