PROPER FOOT CARE

You can help your patients prevent recurrence of interdigital tinea pedis. Educate them with the following:

- • Wash feet every day with soap and water and dry them well, especially between the toes2

- • Don’t walk barefoot in public areas—wear flip-flops, sandals, or water shoes instead2,3

- • When at home, take shoes off to let feet air out3

- • Avoid wearing closed shoes (especially vinyl or rubber ones) that make your feet hot and sweaty—particularly during the summer2,3

- • Change your socks regularly. If your feet sweat often, change your socks each time they get wet2,3

- • Never borrow or share shoes2,3

- • Wear different shoes throughout the week to let shoes dry out2,3
