Public Showers and Athlete’s Foot

Those who use public showers, especially students in dorms, should avoid going barefoot in them. Public showers can harbor bacteria and fungi that can cause foot conditions such as athlete's foot or toenail fungus. Even worse, MRSA bacterium could be in the shower and is more serious than a fungal infection. The best way to avoid an infection is to utilize shower shoes to avoid contact with the ground. Once you have finished showering, make sure to thoroughly dry your feet. If you notice red spots on your feet that are either itchy or painful, you may have a fungal or bacterial infection. Be sure to see your podiatrist for a proper diagnosis.

Athlete’s foot is an inconvenient condition that can be easily reduced with the proper treatment. If you have any concerns about your Feet, contact Brent Harwood, DPM from Southeast Podiatry.  Our doctor will treat your foot care needs.
