How to prevent fungal skin infections

At some point in your life, you might have suffered from a fungal skin infection, or at least know someone close to you who has. There are several ways to prevent such from happening in future.

For instance, keeping the skin clean and dry is one of the most effective ways to prevent fungal infections.

Wearing breathable clothing and changing out of sweaty clothes quickly reduces moisture buildup on the skin.

Using antifungal powders or sprays in areas prone to sweating, like feet and groin, can help prevent fungal growth.

You are also advised to avoid shared personal items, such as towels and razors, to reduce the risk of spreading fungi.

Properly drying between the toes after bathing also helps prevent conditions like athlete’s foot.
