The doctor warned about the danger of catching a fungal infection of the feet in the gym

Ekaterina Solodova, a practicing podologist, warned that hygiene is the basis of foot skin health, because any cracks and diaper rash are a violation of the skin's protective barrier.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, April 16, the specialist explained that the skin will react to any synthetic material with excessive sweating, so the feet need to be washed daily, wiped with a separate towel, and pay attention to the interdigital space so that moisture does not accumulate there.

In addition, according to Solodova, it is important to choose the right shoes so that there is a natural composition both inside and outside. Any synthetic will cause excessive sweating of the foot, which will allow the pathogenic flora to multiply.

The elderly and those who frequent common areas such as swimming pools, gyms, baths, saunas, and beaches are most susceptible to foot skin diseases.
