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.
