Hydrogen Peroxide
Soak your feet in a basin in over the counter Hydrogen Peroxide (Brown Bottle). Soak for 20-30 minutes. Save the same solution to repeat the following day. Twice is all that I do and it works.

In a large bowl (big enough for feet):) fill it part way with hot water and add...
1 cup of vinegar
1/4 cup of epson salt
3 table spoons of Boric Acid

Boric acid mixes very well when whisked!
so whisk it up and soak feet for at least 15 min , dry thoroughly,
dusting with cornstarch is good for keeping dry.
We noticed right away the decrease in odor and after only one week and four treaments the fungus is leaving! Yay!!
It is very important to treat your feet well. shoes that breathe and sandals, clean socks always! let them piggies get air!
