in Germany swimming pools have sprays installed for swimmers to use to prevent foot infections.Not so in Australia. Can one obtain such a spray and what would one ask for say on the internet? Also, is it quite harmless to use such a spray regularly and for long periods?
Hello, Thank you for posting your query to Chat Doctor. In pools generally get spread and grow all kinds of fungal. So the sprays have a medicine that is used to prevent them. I will mention some names, but depends on what you have available in the country you are living. Creams would work as well. Canes ten 2%; Fluconazole 1%; Fluconazole 1%- all this should be easily findable over the counter. Use them 1-2 times/day of you have the infection, and each time after getting out of pool in you go to pool to prevent getting it. The same creams are used to treat the Athletes foot. Hope I answered your question. Let me know if you need more clarification. Regards.
