Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi Kristy, My son had weird looking toenails since he was a baby. With the anti- virals and his Podiatrist it got better. A good Podiatrist can treat it fast with a foot-creme. Hope it helps On May 11, 2010, at 9:28 AM, Kristy Nardini wrote: > My 30 month old nephew has had a fungus-looking rash on his feet, on > the > bottom side near and around his toes.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The reason why I ask is that my son had a terrible chronic foot fungus infect for a few years. At the time there was little I could do. He was on an oral antifungal but both Dr K and Dr G said that the oral did not effectively treat the extremities. I treated it with a variety of topical creams and the cortazon creams worked the best. I often questioned where the antibiotics he was on contributed to the condition, The literature implied that they kill off beneficial bacteria that help control fungal infections. Sure enough when we finished the needed antibiotic part of the protocol (his ASO came down to normal) and stopped the eyriped the fungal infection cleared and never returned. > My 30 month old nephew has had a fungus-looking rash on his feet, on > the > bottom side near and around his toes.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Foot fungus is NOT age specific, EVER! Go to your pharmacist and ask for a good safe steroid based topical ointment. Then keep him in clean cotton socks, keep his feet dry. Is he on the spectrum?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 That sounds like a condition that is sort of autoimmune in nature - has a name I can't remember - I'll try to get back to you on it, and you can google images and see if it's the same. ________________________________ From: Kristy Nardini <knardini@...> stopcallingitautism ; Sent: Tue, May 11, 2010 11:28:34 AM Subject: Foot fungus/rash  My 30 month old nephew has had a fungus-looking rash on his feet, on the bottom side near and around his toes.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 OMG...BULL! It sounds like Athletes Foot. Clean your tubs with bleach to kill the fungus. (With plenty of ventilation, of course.) Someone in your family must have it and it transferred to your child via the tub. Also, in the warm weather, wear sandal-type shoes. Dry between the toes well after bathing. And treat with an antifungal (OTC is ok). > > My 30 month old nephew has had a fungus-looking rash on his feet, on the > bottom side near and around his toes.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 What is wrong with eryped (an older erythromycin)? I think I took that AB a while back. Interested in knowing.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 My son had a chronic fungal infection on both feet we fought for a couple of years. I read in the literature that antibiotic use can kill off beneficial that help control fungal infections.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Bill, This is true. Antibiotics are not selective which bacteria they kill off. They kill both the good bacteria and the bad bacteria and some people do not know this. When you kill the good bacteria, you leave yourself open for all sorts of problems, including fungal infections. I just was not sure if there was something specific to eryped that caused fungus. \ > > > > > > > My 30 month old nephew has had a fungus-looking rash on his feet, on > > > > the > > > > bottom side near and around his toes.
