A member asked:
Can i get/catch athletes foot through your sock?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have a fungus and don't practice good hygiene it's possible. Need to wash socks and never where same pair to days in a row. Try some otc anti fungals like lotromin ultra or see your podiatrist. Fungus likes to grow in dark damp, moist environment.
