Simple steps can be taken to
prevent foot problems.
Prevention is the KEY!
 | Wash your feet daily in warm (not hot) water. |
| If your going to soak your feet, no longer than 10 minutes! |
| Dry well between your toes. |
| If your skin is dry apply lotion, but never put grease in a crease, (that means no lotion between the toes!) |
| Check for cracks between the toes (dryness and cracks in your skin allow bacteria to grow, increasing the risk of infection). |
| NEVER use sharp scissors or razors on or near your feet! |
| Stop smoking because smoking constricts blood vessels, which will cause poor circulation to your feet. |
| Protect your feet from injury and wear good supportive footwear. |
| Seek professional help if you are unable
to care for your own feet.
