Athlete's foot prevention

To prevent athlete’s foot, keep your feet clean and dry, especially between the toes. Change socks regularly and wear breathable shoes that allow airflow. Avoid walking barefoot in public places like locker rooms or pool areas, as fungi thrive in moist environments. Use antifungal powders or sprays if you're prone to sweaty feet. Proper footwear hygiene, such as washing shoes regularly and using moisture-absorbing insoles, can also help. These practices reduce the moist conditions fungi need to grow, lowering your risk of developing athlete’s foot.
