How can I prevent recurring Athlete’s Foot?

Athlete’s foot can be prevented by taking a few simple steps to prevent contact with the fungus.  In public locker rooms and swimming areas be sure to wear sandals.  Don’t wear someone else’s shoes.  Make sure to thoroughly clean home showers and floors where walking barefoot frequently occurs.  Using a light talcum powder dusting the inside of your shoes and socks helps to decrease moisture level thus helping to prevent fungal growth. Keep the inside of your shoes as dry as possible.
