Three practical points

  1. Use suitable footwear in communal showers or changing areas.
  2. Do not share towels, socks or shoes.
  3. Keep your own towel and wash it regularly; dry the feet thoroughly after bathing.

In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
