Complex: Fungus on feet is determined largely by genetic factors. The fungi are so common we are all exposed to them every day. You can reduce your risk of symptoms by ventillating you feet and keeping them dry. Always remove sox at bedtime. Let air & light on your feet some of each day. Foot powder, clean sox, normal hygine are useful. Still some get it. Otc creams such as Miconazole are very effective. D.
