Hi, I’m Dr. Bhela; today, we will talk about whether walking barefoot is bad for toenail fungus.
Toenail fungus thrives in warm and damp environments. Walking barefoot, especially in public areas like pools, locker rooms, or other shared spaces, can increase your risk of exposure to toenail fungus.
If you already have toenail fungus, walking barefoot can lead to it spreading to other toes or even to other people. Fungus loves dark and moist places, so walking barefoot is not ideal.
I recommend wearing breathable shoes and keeping your feet moisturized as key steps to preventing toenail fungus. To protect your feet, consider using flip-flops in public places and consult us for treatment options to get rid of toenail fungus.
Stay healthy and keep those toes fungus-free!
