Top 10 Ringworm Causes

Walking Barefoot

Walking barefoot in some public areas could expose your feet to a variety of contagious bacteria and germs, which would eventually lead to ringworm. Thus, keep in mind to take care of your feet and make sure they are always protected and clean because these are the best places for ringworm fungus to develop and spread. In most cases, it is advisable to wear sandals or flip-flops in public showers and locker rooms. Also, cut your toenails regularly and clean them thoroughly when washing your body. If necessary, wear footwear which provides your feet with air like supportive sandals. [3]
