First of all he needs proper treatment of the infection. Second you must avoid dirt to the area. Third you must avoid moisture retention in that area.
Health Tips
Avoid socks. And when at home separate the toes by placing a chalk piece or eraser in between so that the area gets air dried.

He should keep his feet open. Cotton socks can be worn. Avoid nylon and synthetics. Avoid closed shoes.
