What Is a Fungal Infection?
10. What Are My Chances of Being Reinfected?
If you fall into one of the above high-risk categories, you have a higher chance of contracting another fungal infection. For many people, the most common reinfections include situations such as athlete’s foot, in which you keep wearing damp shoes over and over again during soccer practice, or when you fail to protect your feet in public showers.
You might suffer reinfection if you do not treat the fungal infection properly in the first place. Make sure you take medications as the doctor prescribes and be careful with alternative remedies such as essential oils and homemade skin creams since these can sometimes cause irritation or compound the problem.
