Students Found a Personality which have Body Resemblance

It was Tuesday 26th November 2013 and I just returned after two hours class. A student came to me and told me he with others found a person who had a look of me. A close family member denied such thing. Few photos taken at that day are here.

Treating Athlete's Foot

After web searching, I found information information related to treating athlete's foot. As per WebMed link, it is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet. The following points are important for successful treatment.

  1. Keep skin of foot clean and dry. Wash with anti-bacterial soap and dry with tissue paper. Dip foot in easily bearable hot water having a very small amount of pinky (potassium permanganate). 
  2. Eat one mashed clove of garlic with water early in morning. I found it very hard to continue. 
  3. Use mashed garlic with equal proportions of olive oil and apple cider vinegar. To apply this paste is very painful experience. Therefore, hard to continue. 
  4. Isoconazole nitrate available as Travogen cream. Used it with no better results.  
  5. Clotrimazole available as Dermosporin cream. This really helped in my case, after few days of application. 
  6. Betamethasone diprpionate available as Effidex cream. This helped to reduce itching.
As per above WebMed link, condition tends to recur, even after successful treatment.
