How to prevent infection

Once you've treated your athlete's foot there's nothing worse than it coming back. So, here are a few tips to keep your athlete's foot at bay:

Wash feet daily and dry them thoroughly (especially between the toes).
Wear footwear in communal changing rooms and around swimming pools
Change and wash socks or tights daily.
Wash hands after treatment to prevent infection spreading.
As well as treating an existing infection, you can use Canesten AF powder or spray in socks and footwear as a preventative measure.
Continue using Canesten AF for as long as recommended on the pack, even if symptoms seem to have gone.

Don’t share towels or shoes to prevent the infection spreading.
Avoid socks and shoes made from non-natural fibres as they prevent your feet from "breathing".
