Occasionally I face swelling at the ankle and even under the foot, walking become painful. One or two fingers swell at the base. This happens usually during the morning when I get up from the bed. Rashes with red itchy eruption appear on the skin specially at evening and night. Position of swelling or skin eruptions changes every day.

Wear sandals in public showers, around public swimming pools, and in other public places. Wear socks made out of breathable fibers, such as cotton or wool, or made out of synthetic fibers that wick moisture away from your skin. Change your socks when your feet get sweaty. Air out your feet when you are at home by going barefoot. Wear shoes made of breathable materials. Alternate between two pairs of shoes, wearing each pair every other day, to give your shoes time to dry out between uses. Moisture will allow the fungus to continue to grow.
