Suffering From Trench Foot, Pain On Walking, White Lumpy Indents On Heels. Cure?
i went to lots of festivals this year, all of which I stupidly forgot my wellies, and with the wet weather my feet suffered. For weeks and weeks after it was very painful to walk, and it still is irritating. After searching the internet, I have realised I have got immersion/trench foot . How do I get rid of the white, rubbery, lumpy, indents on my heels and the ball of my foot? Thanks
