PACK FOOT POWDER ON A VACATION TRIP

Because no one wants to schedule a drugstore stop when they’re on the road, we consulted medical experts for their top travel “first aid” essentials that address a variety of concerns. If you’re embarking on an outdoorsy trip or are walking long distances, think ahead and your feet will thank you. Ebonie Vincent, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist in Orange, California, and the star of TLC’s My Feet Are Killing Me, says she often sees patients with foot issues post-travel.

“I’m always seeing patients who have picked up a fungus from vacation, either from being barefoot in moist areas or spending days hiking,” she explains. “I recommend packing water shoes and an over-the-counter preventative treatment, such as Lotrimin AF Daily Medicated Foot Powder, to keep feet dry and prevent bringing home any fungus.”
