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 always forget mine and never had a problem

Maybe I need to be more careful.

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.
