Preventing athlete's foot in children involves several proactive steps:
Encourage good foot hygiene, including washing feet daily with soap and water and drying them thoroughly, especially between the toes. Ensure children wear clean, dry socks and change them if they become damp. Choose breathable footwear and avoid tight-fitting shoes. Teach children not to share towels, socks, or shoes with others. Ensure they wear flip-flops or water shoes in communal areas like locker rooms and swimming pools.
