Putting Feet First: Taking care of them takes you a long way
by Dr Pranjal Shamsher

Although certain diseases and infections of the foot have to be medically treated and may require certain internal and external therapies together, proper foot care plays a very important role in preventing foot diseases.

Prevention better than cure
Use care when trimming your nails. Do not cut your cuticles, open blisters, and try to free ingrown toenails, or break the skin on your feet.

Wash your feet daily - use lukewarm water and mild soap to clean your feet. Gently pat your feet dry and apply a moisturizing cream or lotion.

Check your feet daily. Check the entire surface of both feet for skin breaks, blisters, swelling, or redness.
