Your gym wear can cause fungal infections; here's how to prevent them

Not wearing the right activewear or gym wear may leave you with fungal infections, rashes or bumps due to excessive sweating and friction between clothes and the skin.  Here are a few things you should keep in mind to prevent infections.

• Take showers daily; both in morning and evening during summers, to maintain basic hygiene 
• Shaving and trimming private area hair can help prevent rashes
• If you have rashes or ringworm, keep the area clean by washing it with a mild shop. And see a specialist in case of serious conditions
• Change your clothes daily, especially undergarments and socks. It is advised to change your undergarments twice if they get damp from sweating
• Make sure that you don't share clothes and towel with anyone if you have rashes or any skin problem.
