Claims: What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus for applying a medicated product, to a foot comprising:

an open topped box,

at least one pressurized aerosol spray container containing a foot medication mounted in said box said container having an aerosol spray nozzle located therein for atomizing the foot medication and controlling the direction of said atomized medication, said spray container and valve further positioned to direct the medicated spray toward the opening in the top of the box,

a moveable foot support plate positioned over and partly closing the opening of said box at a position above the aerosol spray container,

a toe spreader mounted at the end of the foot support plate and in line with the medicated spray released from the aerosol container, and means connecting the foot support plate with the spray nozzle so that external force applied to said support plate causes the medicated spray to be released from the aerosol container.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the aerosol spray container contains a medicated foot powder.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the means connecting the foot support plate with the spray nozzle is a spray activator mounted on the foot support plate in contact with the aerosol spray nozzle so that pressure exerted on the foot support plate causes the medicated spray to be released from the aerosol spray container.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the means connecting the foot support plate with the spray nozzle is a lever mounted on the foot support plate and extending inside the box, said lever in contact with the spray head so that sliding pressure applied to the foot support plate causes the medicated spray to be released from the aerosol container.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the aerosol spray container contains a liquid medication.

6. A foot medication applications system comprising:

an open topped enclosure

at least one medication spray container mounted in said enclosure,

a foot supporting plate moveably positioned over the open top of the enclosure, wherein the foot supporting plate has a raised portion at one edge thereof which functions to spread the toes of a foot placed thereon,

and a spray activator connected to said plate and in contact with the medication spray container so that pressure exerted on the foot supporting plate causes a medicated spray to be released from the spray container.

7. The foot medication application system of claim 6 wherein the medicated spray released from the spray container is a medicated aerosol powder.

8. The foot medication application system of claim 6 wherein the medicated spray released from the spray container is a medicated aerosol liquid.

9. The foot medication application system of claim 6 wherein the medication spray container has a spray head mounted therein, and the spray container is mounted in the enclosure so that the medicated spray released from the container is directed by the spray head toward the foot spreader.
