Gyms are a breeding ground for fungal infections like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. Shared showers, sweaty shoes, and communal spaces increase your risk.
Tips to Prevent Fungal Infections:
- Wear shower shoes: Always use flip-flops or sandals in communal showers.
- Keep your feet dry: Change out of sweaty socks and shoes promptly.
- Disinfect your shoes: Use antifungal sprays or powders regularly.
- Avoid going barefoot: Especially in locker rooms or gym floors.
If you notice persistent itching, redness, or thickened toenails, contact Gauld Foot and Ankle for effective treatment options.
