Tinea pedis, scientifically known as ringworm of the foot, cannot be avoided by wearing socks to bed; however, if clean socks are worn to bed, the probability of infection may be reduced. Tinea pedis is usually caused by fungal infections, and even wearing socks to bed may lead to infection, especially when contact with the shoes and socks of a person suffering from tinea pedis, or not washing socks for a long time, which may lead to the presence of fungus on the socks, and this may cause infection or even aggravate the symptoms of tinea pedis. If you wear clean socks when you sleep and avoid touching the personal clothes of people with tinea pedis, etc., the probability of infection may be reduced. Tinea pedis patients should be treated in time, usually with antifungal medications, such as clotrimazole cream, terbinafine cream, etc. And it is important to do a good job in preventing the infection, do not share footbaths, foot towels, etc., and change shoes and socks often and diligently to keep the feet clean. When using medication, follow the doctor’s instructions to use reasonable medication, do not use medication privately.
