Foot Powder now that 'Mycil' powder unavailable

[peacheater]

I have just spent a week trying to by some mycil and had not realissed that it is actually discontinued.
But generally on a daily basis I use Cuticura. I prefer it to standard baby powder, as it is slightly medicated, and it does not seem to clump when meeting damp skin, or during the day as I sweat, as much as regular baby talc does. I dont know if the grains are finer or what it is.
I work on oil rigs all over the world, and I use cuticura to dust my feet, socks and groin after every shower.

Cuticura used to come in metal tins, and I travel alot, and found that the tin often gets squashed and starts to leak around the seam between the main body and the "shouldered" section. Just recently I bought more, online, and it came in plastic containers, which being slightly flexible should not leak I think.

The plastic container version I just bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000EBFKPA/ref=wms_ohs_product
The metal container version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cuticura-Talcum-Powder-Mildly-Medicated/dp/B008FRN138/ref=pd_sim_beauty_7

Incidentally, if I see I am actually getting athletes foot or tinea in my groin, I use Daktarin to actually treat it. I use the cream and the spray.

I am in the Pee on your feet camp, works on cracked heels as well. the other remedies are fresh air and clean socks.

 

[Dano]

Daktarin powder or grind up thyme in regular talk

I contacted the manufacturers of Mycil, and it was discontinued - they say due to lack of sales.

It may sound a wee bit gross. However urinating on your tootsies can help clear up athletes foot.

I didn't know "tench foot" was a major problem here in the UK I always use a pair of cheap flip flops after a days walking !! Just let the air get to your feet

This was drummed into us in the forces, feet need to air after being washed to get rid if the "Toe Jam".

I got a talc-type stuff from Home Bargains in a big yellow container with a blue lid. It's a man-made talc, bizarrely. Don't have the name as I took the label off.

Don't really see the point in messing about with it or putting it on your bum-hole, seems to work fine as it is on my feet.

I put it in a large zip-loc bag when I'm out on trips and stick my foot in the bag - it's easier to carry and it stops waste. Learned that one in the military.

For foot fungal infections you can use a very dilute bleach solution or Vicks vapour rub.

In Oz I use curash powder if very bad infection but other than that just wash feet and throw them in my Foo-Foo bag. nice and powdered.

I wish I'd thought of the foo-foo instead of chucking foot powder all over my sleeping bag

How do you like the Helinox? I've looked at them a few times but they're £80 a pop over here

 

[Twodogs]

Yep I to like the foo foo bag

LOL. Why? Is foo foo too feminie? Or are you associating it with "poo?"

Self raising flour, perfect for sweaty feet,especially between the toes.
I'm joking of course, dont do this.......doughy toes

Tea tree is pretty effective on fungal conditions. Think was issued to Aussie troops during WW2 during the jungle campaigns?
This is one manufacturer - lots of others out there
http://www.thursdayplantation.com/products/Thursday-Plantation/Antifungal-and-Foot-Care

Yes, it was part of the Aussie first aid kit but fell into disuse when more modern things replaced it. Thursday Plantation or that part of Australia is the only place Tea Tree (plant?) grows. If it had been built over, Tea Tree might have ceased to exist.

Been there a few years' ago, quite a nice visitor centre and not far off the main road these days.
