Tinea and Skin Cancers

[Guest guest]

Lisa

My husband has a very similar problem. He works all day in the sun

in 'combat boots' with steel toe caps, big heavy socks. He

has always had a problem with tinea particularly between his toes and

really bad cracked heels. He uses Golden Seal Ointment from the

local health store which brings it to a manageable level but never

actually gets rid of it. Now that its summer over here in Australia

it seems to get even worse particulary the tinea. You said you made

the mixture. I have never made mixtures of creams before only bought them

ready made. I've seen a lot in this group people say they mix oils with a

base cream. Is there a special way of doing this ??.. Is

there a life expectancy of creams that you make yourself ?? .. Are

they readily available like the oils ??

The other problem he has are skin cancers on the back of his hand. He

travels from location to location on the railways lines fixing things so

is constantly in the sun. He uses suncream now but didn't use them

earlier in his life when he was living up in Port Hedland one of the

hottest places in Australia. So hands on the steering wheel for hours a

day travelling to a location. He uses the Golden Seal on those as

well and it keeps them smooth and in winter time they generally get quite

good, but once again in the heat of the summer they seem to flare

up so was wondering if there was anything else he could be putting on

them. The local doctor said he could freeze them off for him

but they would only come back so it would only be a temporary

thing.

Thanks ;o)
