For my Aquatic Physiotherapy group…
When getting dressed after using a public shower (ie at a pool)… SOCKS BEFORE JOCKS
A tinea infection between your toes is annoying and uncomfortable, but if you put on underwear without covering your feet first the fungal spores transfer onto your underwear and then find somewhere much more uncomfortable to live.
If you do get an unfortunate infection, treat with topical anti-fungal such as Lamisil, or Hydrozole which has cortisone to calm the skin irritation, and avoid using soaps or rubbing dry.
