Matters needing attention
Soaking feet with vinegar is aimed at those patients with mild beriberi. If your athlete's foot is already very serious, the effect of soaking feet with vinegar is relatively slight, so it is recommended that patients with serious athlete's foot find a professional doctor for treatment to get rid of the troubles caused by athlete's foot as soon as possible.
White vinegar is an acidic substance. When soaking feet with white vinegar, the environment on our feet will become acidic, which will change the environment on our feet and inhibit the propagation of fungi to a certain extent. This is the effect of soaking feet in white vinegar to treat beriberi.
