when the winter comes, feet don’t sweat so much and
become drier in the cold weather, so athlete's foot seems
to be cured without medicine.
B﹒預防方法最重要的就是要注意足部衛生，保持腳部的乾燥才能防止
黴菌的滋生。因此洗完澡或流汗後，要趕快把腳及趾縫擦乾，夏天
儘量穿通風的鞋子或涼鞋，不要穿不透氣的鞋。
The best prevention is to maintain foot hygiene. Keep
your feet dry to prevent fungus from growing. Therefore,
dry your feet and the gaps between toes thoroughly after
taking a shower or a bath or when your feet are wet for
any other reason. Try to wear shoes which can breathe or
sandals.

B﹒另外，襪子要穿能吸汗的棉織品，不要穿尼龍襪或絲襪。襪子要天
天換，鞋子要準備兩雙輪流穿，讓另一雙有足夠的時間乾燥後再
穿。不要赤腳在公共浴室或地板行走，以免把香港腳傳給他人或減
低自己罹患香港腳的機會。
Also, wear clean absorbent socks made of natural fi bers
instead of nylon or silk. Change them every day and
alternate your shoes. Don’t walk barefoot, especially in
public bathrooms, to prevent the spread of the fungus and
the possibility of infection.

B﹒還有，開給你治療香港腳的藥，一定要按時擦，不可以以為快好了
就不擦，這樣是無法治療成功的，而且還會產生抗藥性呢！
Use the ointment prescribed by your doctor regularly.
Don’t stop using the ointment before the infection has
cleared up totally, as your athlete’s foot won’t be cured
completely. That will also cause drug resistance.
