2.
Wash your feet each day
Before you wash your feet, check the water with your elbow to
make sure it is not too hot. Use a mild, unscented soap. Do not
soak your feet. Rinse well and pat your feet dry. Remember to
dry in between your toes.
3.
Put cream or lotion on your feet
To keep your skin soft and smooth, put a thin layer of unscented
cream or lotion on your feet. Do not put it between your toes as
this may cause an infection.
4.
Wear socks and shoes that fit well
Always wear socks and shoes. Do not go barefoot, even indoors.
Cotton socks without seams are best. Change your socks
each day.
Before you put on your shoes:
• smooth any wrinkles out of your socks
• feel inside your shoes for any rough spots, bumps
or objects
Wear comfortable shoes that support your feet and have
enough room for your toes. Do not wear shoes with pointed
toes or high heels. A foot specialist can help you get shoes
that fit properly.
5.
Protect your feet from heat and cold
Wear shoes on hot surfaces such as pavement or sand. Do not
use a hot water bottle or heating pad on your feet. Wear warm
socks and boots when it is cold.
