Proper cleaning in the daily bath and careful drying of the skin, especially in the interdigital spaces are essential to keep your feet healthy. When fungus has just begun, they settle between the toes and then spread to the bottom and edges of the feet.

Symptoms

The most frequent symptoms are intense itching and the presence of small vesicles that induce scratching, which aggravates the symptom.

Prevention

It is important to personalize the towels; they must be personal, frequently changed, washed and ironed. The disinfection of shower floors must be done frequently. The appropriate shoes for the season are fresh, ventilated and dry, such as leather sandals, not synthetic. The use of talc for fungus or drying is key to prevention.
