How to Get Rid of Athlete's Foot

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Mild soap (such as dishwashing liquid)

1. Wash your feet twice a day with a mild soap. Clean well between your toes, and dry thoroughly. Avoid deodorant soaps.
2. Apply an over-the-counter antifungal powder, cream or spray or herbal alternative between your toes and inside your socks and shoes.
3. Wear clean socks made of cotton or wool. Natural fibers absorb moisture much better than synthetics.
4. Change your socks during the day, especially after activities that cause your feet to sweat.
5. Wear shoes that provide some ventilation such as sandals or canvas shoes.
