During the summer, when pools become the best option to cool off, we should pay extra attention to foot care as damp areas are a major cause of fungal and bacterial infections on feet. To avoid such infections, we will give you some recommendations.
- Never walk barefoot in pools, showers, locker rooms, or damp areas. Always wear flip-flops to protect your feet in common areas. Flip-flops are recommended only for public places like locker rooms, pools, gyms, showers, etc., as they prevent fungal and papilloma infections. However, they are not suitable for long walks or sports activities as they offer minimal support and stability. Excessive use can strain your toes, leading to conditions like hammertoes, bunions (hallux valgus), metatarsalgia, and plantar fasciitis.
- Do not share shoes or towels with others to prevent infections.
- Keep your feet, especially the spaces between your toes, dry and moisturized to avoid moisture. If you sweat a lot, we recommend using powders and deodorants. Opt for shoes made of natural materials that allow breathability to prevent moisture and skin irritation. Avoid closed shoes, and choose socks made of natural fabrics.
- It is recommended to clean and disinfect the flip-flops used in the pool daily.
- After your daily hygiene routine, apply a foot cream recommended by a podiatrist, focusing on cracks and dry areas.
