How to prevent athlete’s foot in babies? If athlete's foot is left untreated, your baby's feet will suffer. Not only will it be difficult to get better, but it will become more and more serious, spreading to the soles of the feet and then developing to both feet. In addition to drug treatment for baby's athlete's foot, it is also necessary to cut off the transmission channels of fungi from the source and provide good home care. It is best to wear breathable cotton socks and sports shoes for your baby. When the seasons change, be sure to change to suitable shoes and socks. Don't let your baby get too cold or too warm.

If one of the parents suffers from athlete's foot, they must make sure to strictly separate the child's toiletries from those of adults. After the child takes a bath or washes his feet, use a cotton swab to wipe the water between the toes, especially for fatter children, as water is likely to remain between the toes. Because the temperature between little feet is not lower than that of the leg hollows and neck. With a certain amount of humidity and moisture, it is easy for fungi to grow, making it more likely to be infected by parents' athlete's foot.

Even if the father does not have athlete's foot and the mother does not have gynecological inflammation, they must not hold the child in the bathtub together. It is best to wash your hands before bathing the child and before holding the child after doing housework. Children's shoes should be placed in a ventilated and dry place. It is best to put them outdoors to dry and blow before wearing them. When friends and relatives come to visit, it is best to have the guests wear shoe covers and avoid using slippers, which can cause cross-infection of fungi.
