Wash your feet daily with soap
and water. |
 |
|
After washing, dry them fully, especially
in between the toes. |
 |
|
Keep your toe nails short, trimming them
straight across to avoid ingrown toenails. |
 |
|
Moisturise your feet daily to prevent dryness
and cracking of the skin. |
 |
|
Examine your feet daily for scratches, cuts,
blisters and corns. Use a mirror to check
the sole of your feet. |
 |
|
Use shoes that fit well and wear clean cotton
socks which have loose fitting elastic tops. |
 |
|
See your family doctor for screening of
your feet every year. |
 |
|
If you have any corns or any wounds that
are not healing well, seek help from your
doctor as soon as possible. |
