Athlete's foot is a common and annoying fungal infection that affects many people, especially those who lead active lifestyles or spend a lot of time in warm, humid environments. There are several measures that can help relieve or remedy athlete's foot. One important measure is to keep your feet clean and dry, especially after activities that can lead to sweat and moisture build-up. Wearing socks with moisture-wicking properties and breathable shoes can also help keep your feet dry.
Good hygiene and regular washing of the feet with soap and water can help to combat athlete's foot. It can also be helpful to avoid walking barefoot in public areas such as communal showers or changing rooms in gyms, as fungi can grow there. If you experience symptoms such as itching, burning or cracked skin, it is important to seek advice. There are various over-the-counter antifungal creams and sprays that can help with athlete's foot.
It is advisable to follow the measures recommended by your doctor. Regular cleaning of shoes, socks and other footwear, as well as careful hygiene, can help with this issue.
