Default Public Showers

So, I showered at the gym today, but I'd forgotten to bring flip-flops, so I went barefoot. What can I do to my feet to discourage the growth of any kind of fungus I may have unwittingly picked up?

I'm not an expert but I would suggest tea tree oil if you have any.

Soak 'em in hot water and rub 'em down with a pumice stone. Then TTO.

I don't have pumice or TTO.

What about baking soda? Coconut oil? Garlic?

(No idea; just spitballing here.)

treat your feet with red apple cider vinegar or peroxide then let them dry and keep them dry. It can't grow on dry feet.

apple cider vinegar
tea tree oil
coconut oil (this works the best, IME)

Some people (like me) are really prone to fungal infections while others never get them.

DD gets them often, so this was very helpful for me. I may dilute the vinegar, though. We use coconut oil, tea tree oil (dilute), yogurt applied directly to skin, and water/baking powder mixture.
