This might seem far fetched, however, it might be of help to your daughter. Our local newspaper carries a sindicated column by Dr Peter Gott MDthat has carried several letters from people regarding their success in using Vics VaporRub on various fungal infections with amazing and immediate results. Infections have included psriosis, toe nail infections, split heels, and skin splits on the hand. Of course, dematologists have scoffed at their patients success stories, but I think it's worth a try. Patti - Michigan (I wore an AFO with no skin difficulties.) ---- "Tracey L.

============= Question for all of you. I just got back from the Orthotist, with my daughter, Ashlee, and was just told that my daughter may have a "fungus" of some sort in her AFO. Have any of you ever dealt with this before??? She has a rash on each side of her leg where the brace touches her. She took them off on Friday night and didn't put them back on until today to go to school and I could still see the outline of her brace (from the rash). They want me to take her to a dermatologist but our local facilities are scheduling 6-8 weeks out. I am contemplating calling her family physician to see what he thinks but thought I would check on here first. The Orthotist took the brace from her and is sending away to have the straps and padding replaced in hopes that he can rid the fungus that way. Tracey L.
