One of the most effective steps you can take is to keep your feet clean and dry. Make sure you wash your feet regularly, especially if you have just finished a workout session at the gym. Soap and water are your best friends if you want to avoid issues with plantar warts. After washing, make sure you dry your feet properly, and pay special attention to the area between your toes.

It’s also smart to wear flip-flops or sandals in public showers, locker rooms, and at the pool. These shared areas are the hotspot for the virus to spread, and having that extra layer of footwear can prove to be a crucial barrier between your feet and a contaminated floor.
