Foot care

It is very important that we look after our feet. We can do little things everyday to ensure that our feet are well looked after and kept in healthy condition.

Treatment

• wash your feet regularly with warm soapy water
• dry your feet well, especially in between the toes
• use a footfile to remove dry skin on the bottom of the feet and heels
• use moisturiser on your feet after showers or bath, avoid in-between toes
• if you have trouble reaching your feet, place a plastic bag on the ground and squeeze moisturiser onto the bag. Rub your feet on the plastic bag and using the bottom of each foot rub the opposite foot
• check your footwear for wear and tear, also small stones inside the shoes
• wear clean cotton socks and throw away any hosiery which is too tight or with holes
