Fungal infections, or mycosis, are caused by microscopic fungi that thrive on the skin, particularly on feet, hands, armpits, and nails. These infections often cause intense itching and discomfort.
Thankfully, a time-tested folk remedy offers effective relief: a simple paste made from baking soda and apple cider vinegar. This natural approach has helped many soothe symptoms without harsh chemicals.

- 3 parts baking soda
- 1 part apple cider vinegar
1. Combine the baking soda and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly until a thick paste forms.
3. Apply the paste to the affected area.
4. Leave it on for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse with warm water.
This remedy quickly reduces itching from fungal infections. Apply twice daily until symptoms subside. It's a cost-effective alternative to prescription antifungals for many people.
This treatment works for various fungal infections in both men and women, including on feet, hands, nails, scalp, mouth, thighs, and genital areas (vulva and glans).
The antifungal properties of baking soda and apple cider vinegar make it a gentle, low-risk option for fast itch relief.
