Prevention

• Avoid Being Barefoot in Public Areas (e.g., showers, bathrooms, swimming pools). You can get athlete's foot from walking barefoot in these areas. Wear sandals.
• Keep the Feet Clean and Dry:
  • Wash your feet with warm soapy water once a day. Rinse the feet and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
  • Wear clean cotton socks and change daily.

And remember, contact your doctor if you develop any of the "Call Your Doctor" symptoms.
