What precaution would you take to prevent skin diseases.
Answers
1. Keep your hands clean to reduce skin infections. One of the easiest ways to prevent the infection of skin is to practice good hand hygiene such as washing your hands frequently. Alternatively, you can use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available.
2 . Moisturize dry skin. Although washing hands often helps reduce skin infections, it can also lead to dry skin. Dry skin may result in cracks in the skin, which can allow bacteria to enter the cut
3. Avoid contact with overly used surfaces. Some germs can survive on surfaces anywhere from hours to days. By avoiding skin-to-skin contact with surfaces like locker room floors and doorknobs, you can decrease your chance of coming into contact with infectious germs.
4. Take care of your feet. Fungal infections usually take the form of "athletes foot" because fungus tends to shed spores and the most common place for this to occur is in shoes. Keeping your feet and shoes clean and dry, and avoiding going barefoot can assist in reducing infections.
