Here are suggestions to help prevent athlete's foot, courtesy of the American Podiatric Medical Association:
- Don't walk barefoot in public areas like pools, showers, locker rooms or dressing rooms.
- Always wear flip flops or some kind of shower shoes.
- Before putting on shoes, sprinkle the feet with talcum powder to keep them dry.
- Wear shoes that allow air to circulate so that your feet stay drier.
- Wear thick, absorbent socks that keep your feet dry, and change them at least daily.
