Wash your feet daily with warm water and mild soap, paying attention to the areas between your toes. Dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes, as moisture can contribute to fungal infections.

Trim Your Toenails Properly

Trim your toenails straight across and avoid cutting them too short. This helps prevent ingrown toenails, which can become painful and prone to infection.

Wear Proper Footwear

Choose shoes that fit well and provide adequate support for your feet. Avoid wearing tight or narrow shoes that can squeeze your toes and lead to ingrown toenails or other foot problems.
