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.

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.
