Working out is great for your health, but gyms can be breeding grounds for germs. Protect yourself from skin infections like ringworm, plantar warts, and impetigo with these tips:
๐ฟ Wear loose, moisture-wicking clothes – Stay dry and clean those gym clothes after each use.
๐ฟ Always wear shoes – Keep a pair of shower shoes or sandals in your gym bag and never walk barefoot.
๐ฟ Cover any cuts – Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs until healed.
๐ฟ Disinfect equipment – Use wipes or spray before and after use, and consider a towel barrier on shared surfaces.
๐ฟ Wash your hands – Clean up immediately after your workout.
๐ฟ Shower ASAP – Change into clean clothes after your shower and never share personal items.
If you notice signs of infection like increased pain, swelling, pus, or redness, see a board-certified dermatologist. Stay safe and enjoy your workouts!
