A member asked:
I have athletes foot and fungal nail infections on 2 toes, i am 18. can i go swimming? will it spread to other areas if i go swimming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may go swimming: The pools should have chemicals in them plus the overall amount of fungus on you compared to the body of water is small. I do not feel others would become contaminated. But hats off to you for considering others...
