Here are some practises you should follow for diabetic foot fungal infection prevention during the monsoon: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 1: Use monsoon friendly footwear<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59234 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Use-monsoon-friendly-footwear.jpg\" alt=\"Use monsoon friendly footwear\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubber and plastic footwear like flip-flops and sandals can be suitable for the monsoon. They avoid soaking up water and keep your feet dry for longer. Ensure you are not wearing tight footwear that can clamp your feet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 2: Keep your toenails clean<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examining your feet regularly and cutting your toenails to keep them clean is important. It might be better to trim your nails because cutting them too close to your skin could lead to cuts that increase fungal growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 3: Wash your feet thoroughly<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59235 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wash-your-feet-thoroughly.jpg\" alt=\"Wash your feet thoroughly\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you return home, you should remove your footwear and wash your feet completely. You can use warm water, soap, or even antiseptic if you walk in the rain. You should also scrub your foot to remove dirt. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 4: Avoid wearing clothes on damp skin<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your skin dry before you put on your socks or footwear. You should also ensure that your socks and shoes are completely dry before you put them on. The same applies to your clothing in the monsoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 5: Avoid self-medication<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59236 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Avoid-self-medication.jpg\" alt=\"Avoid self-medication\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have already contracted a fungal infection, you should avoid self-medicating. You should consult a dermatologist to learn about fungal infection treatment, which includes understanding the fungal strain and what medication will work on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from foot fungal infections, also be aware of <\/span><b>black<\/b> <b>fungus growth or mucormycosis,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a prominent health risk today, and how to prevent it. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content-wrap\">\n<h3 class=\"key-takeaway__sub-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humidity and moisture in the monsoon season can lead to fungal infections<\/span><b>.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In diabetes, wounds take longer to heal, necessitating preventive foot care.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of a diabetic foot fungal infection include changes in toenails, cracked skin and foot odor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use monsoon-friendly footwear, keep toenails clean, wash feet thoroughly, avoid wearing clothes on damp skin, and avoid self-medication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay tuned to the Activ Living Community.
