• To prevent athlete's foot, you must wash your feet thoroughly every day.  At this time, wet your hands with soapy water and wash between your toes thoroughly.  Especially between the toes, where ventilation is poor and moisture easily accumulates.
• It is also important to dry after washing.  Dry between your toes using a towel or hair dryer.
• After drying, apply lotion.  If possible, choose one with less oil.  People with sweaty feet should use powder instead of lotion.
