Hi all

Here comes few tips........

1. Don’t ignore pain. Painful feet are not normal. Many foot conditions can be cured if you visit a chiropodist as early as possible.
2. Wash your feet daily in luke warm soapy water. Do not soak the feet as this may cause them to become excessively dry
3. Dry your feet thoroughly, especially in between the toes.
4. Apply moisturizing cream all over the feet, except in between the toes.
5. Inspect your feet regularly. Particular attention should be given to changes in color and temperature of your feet.
6. You should contact a chiropodist if your nails become thick, tough and discolored.
7. Any growth on your feet such as corns calluses and verrucae's should be monitored.
8. Peeling of the skin or excessively dry skin should be treated. Seek advice from a chiropodist.
9. If your feet are itchy, that may be a sign of a fungal infection of the skin. Seek advice from a chiropodist.
10. Remove any hard skin you may have gently with a pumice stone or a skin file. It is not wise to use a pumice or skin file over a joint. If your lesion is over a joint, seek advice from a chiropodist.
