Tips
1. Signs of un-hygiene feet: Check your feet often. Look for cuts, cracks, redness, blisters, swelling, change of color or any sign of trauma. Use a mirror to look at all areas of bottoms of your feet.
2. Washing: Wash your feet daily with look warm soapy water. Dry your feet thoroughly. Make sure to dry with a towel especially between the toes also.
3. Dead cells: While washing your feet, scrub them, especially the heels, with a foot scrubber regularly. This is good for removing the dead cells and keeps your feet soft .
4. Massage: Give a massage to your feet once in a week. Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to your massage lotion for a sensational treat to your feet.
5. Keep your feet hydrated: Before you retire for the day, wash your feet and dry them thoroughly. The skin on the soles of your feet does not have any oil glands. So to keep them soft, apply moisturizer or glycerin especially at the heels every night and pull on a pair of cotton socks before you sleep.
6. Toenails: Trim your toenails straight across and then smooth the edges with an emery board or a nail file each week or when needed. Trim your toenails after bath or shower as they are soft at that time and easy to cut.
7. Corns and Calluses: Total Foot care tips require that you take care of dead skin that forms at the pressure points such as heels, toes and bony areas of your feet. They are common, if you wear sandals or flip-flops due to the repeated friction of your feet at certain points when you move around. Use a pumice stone or a foot file to smooth corns and calluses after bath or shower.
8. Selection of foot wear: A good foot care tip is to make sure that your shoes fit with sufficient room to twist your toes. When you buy shoes, get your feet measured while standing and not sitting and preferably later in the day when the feet are a bit swollen.
9. Prevent smelly feet: Closed shoes and sweaty feet cause strong foul odor. If you have smelly feet, wear sandals for air flow, whenever feasible. Avoid wearing same shoes two days in a row, so that they get chance to dry out.
10.Avoid too hot or too cold: Keep bath water at moderate temperature. As in case of neuropathy patient, they may not be able to feel even if the water is too hot and they may burn their skin. Also never use heating pads
