First, put borax in a small salt plastic shaker bottle that you can buy cheaply on Amazon. This is not only great for the method I am about to tell you, but will allow you to add borax to coffee, water, etc, in small amounts.
Have a sock ready!
Sitting down with your foot over your other knee, apply a layer of vaseline to the bottom of your foot and in between your toes. If you have ever had a rash on the side or top of your foot, also rub vaseline there too. Sprinkle borax generously from the salt shaker over the foot and in between the toes. I use my other hand to catch the powder from falling onto the ground. Rub in gently and fast. Put your socks on and go about your day. Your athlete's foot will be gone within 1-2 days. Amazing and effective remedy.
Applying the vaseline first is the secret to this method, otherwise the borax powder gets rubbed off when you put your foot into the sock.
Report back if you try this AF cure!

After trying everything else you could buy at the store for his pretty much life long athletes foot problem - and not having results my boyfriend finally decided to try the remedy I kept telling him to try... borax - which he thought was poison him instantly but he 'trusted' the OTC stuff at the store!!! LOL
He wet his feet and then took a handful and rubbed it all over his feet.
He said they stopped itching immediately! He was stunned.
A few weeks later I asked him how his athletes foot was and he said: oh wow! It hasn't come back! That stuff totally cured it!!!
Now he tells all his friends about borax ;)
