Wal-Mart bags or newspaper bags over your socks help some too.
I’d like to know a few of the secrets on how to cure trench foot. I got trench foot from the jungles of southern Asia when I was in the Marines. That’s been 15 years ago but in the summertime it gets really bad. I’ve tried everything over the counter to keep it under control but it’s still pretty bad. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Yet another use of potassium permanganate.
Clean and dry socks
Potassium permanganate. Also a firestarter when mixed with silica.

Adam Snyder ,it’s also a water purifier. Listerine mouthwash was originally developed for trench foot.
Thanks guys, I’ll give these suggestions a try.
Listerine mouthwash was originally made to fight trench foot .
Hey Derek, you know what’s really good for treating trench foot? If you lick my b******e
Working one winter, as a carpenter, I was wearing goretex lined boots. Going in and out of the house, with the temperature changes, my feet were constantly wet, from the condensation.
I suffered, for months, as my feet healed. The pads on my heals, we’re the worst. It is painful.
Had trench foot in the Marines, it was so bad my toenails fell off. Absolute misery wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Keep your feet dry at all times if possible.
Really?????
Use the foot powder and keep your socks clean an dry the best you can.
Did not know that. Will cool mint work or do you need the original nasty$#%&!@*
Doterra Melaluca, so powerful it cures herpes and foot fungus.
Cool mint is for girls.
Wtf? Ever heard of flip flops?
Cool name though.
I gotten it every summer since i was in the military. My toe nails fall off and grow back every fall
No. It was originally made for surgeons as a medical antiseptic and also a “cure” for some STDs.
Omfg it true!!! Worse thing you can get in the winter and spring. It’s like being in the tube for 12+ hrs.
Please check google or something before you go believing random ppl on the internet.
If your in the wrong boots the skin on the bottom of your feet will peel off!
A starter company I think just made water proof socks. This might help
Had trench foot when I worked the mines. Its not fun.
Change your socks keep your feet dry
I had it really bad working at a golf course. It’s fairly excruciating. Skin sloughed off, bled, got infected. It wasn’t my favorite winter.
The best is when the skin cracks open once your feet dry.

In Nam, had paddy foot courtesy of monsoon season and water up to my knees more times than I could remember, took about 18 months to get it totally under control . Till then, worked every day with boots full of blood, the smell alone was ghastly, you could pull chunks of foot off at will…had crept halfway up to my knees at one point.I was allergic to most antibiotics they had at that time, so it was a real touch and go battle for me, the military actually threw their hands up at one point and said “we give up.”So I got proactive took all their meds plus civilian ones that were available and mixed em all together and went for broke, and finally beat it ! Never give up !
In the military they gave us some special powder bs we were supposed to put in our boots and socks… your kids might come out blue with six legs but your feet were dry.
Lol my crazy$#%&!@*uncle thar served on Vietnam told me when I was a little boy that the only thing the army gave him for trench foot was for him and his buddies stood in a circle and pissed on each other feet. ..
Don’t forget Groin Rot ! Keep clean !
Gold Bond bro
I did learn that from a documentary on the war. I also did look it up Emily Jones and no mention of stds . People still use it for feet care today, so like you were saying.
Baby Powder, Gold Bond, or Corn Starch all work well. I keep two bottles of Gold Bond on my bug bag and carry a bottle with me on hiking trips. Your feet take you places, it is your job to protect them. Bad feet = Bad day. If you don’t want to pack the bottle, rip off the cap and dump it into a ziplock, double the ziplock, and when you’re ready to use it you can just grab an big handful and rub it on. It works great for chafing and when you wipe your$#%&!@*too much.
Such a bad idea
Got trench foot as a kid went to the water park in shoes, big mistake! Worst 3 days of my life, avoid at all costs!
But they pay double the price for it
Thank you for your service Sir , glad you found a way to fix, my husband is dealing with a much smaller case,his feet are terrible,but still working on it
My dad use to use the yellow stuff, I’ve used it a couple times too, works wonders.
Get that in the paper mill some days.
first don’t let your shoes get wet, go bare foot if you need to then when your feet dry put the shoes back on. problem solved
