Foot Care Tips

Daily Foot Care Routine

✔ Wash Your Feet Daily – Use warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
✔ Moisturize – Apply lotion to keep skin soft, but avoid applying between the toes to prevent fungal infections.
✔ Trim Nails Properly – Cut toenails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.

Footwear Advice

✔ Choose the Right Shoes – Wear well-fitting, supportive shoes with proper cushioning. Avoid tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes.
✔ Replace Worn-Out Shoes – Shoes lose support over time; replace them when they show signs of wear.
✔ Wear Socks – Opt for moisture-wicking socks to prevent fungal infections and blisters.

Preventing Foot Problems

✔ Check Your Feet Regularly – Look for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling, especially if you have diabetes.
✔ Protect Against Infections – Avoid walking barefoot in public places like gyms and pools.
✔ Manage Foot Pain Early – Seek professional help if you experience persistent pain, swelling, or discomfort.

Exercise & Circulation

✔ Stretch and Strengthen – Simple foot exercises can improve flexibility and prevent stiffness.
✔ Elevate Your Feet – If you stand for long hours, elevate your feet to reduce swelling.
✔ Move Regularly – Avoid sitting or standing in one position for too long to promote circulation.
