If you have athlete's foot, it's best to follow a simple daily skincare routine. This will help clear it up and may prevent it from coming back.
Tips for walking away from athlete's foot
- Wash your feet daily
- Dry your feet completely, especially between your toes
- Avoid walking barefoot in public places. Wear flip-flops or shower shoes in locker rooms, pools and common shower areas
- Wear clean socks that keep your feet dry
- Change your shoes and socks at least once a day
- Do not share footwear with others
