1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Inspect your feet regularly, preferably every day. Make sure you check for: • Blisters / Corns / Calluses • Swelling • Warmth/Redness • Cuts. If you find any of the above stop using the footwear! Keep your feet clean. Trim your toe nails, if you can’t do this get a relative or carer to do it. File the nails to get rid of any sharp edges. If your toenails are especially difficult to cut, arrange to see a podiatrist. Always dry between your toes. Moisture can attract germs such as fungus which breeds rapidly and can be difficult to treat. Apply moisturising lotion if you have dry skin. Do not soak your feet for any length of time. Cracks in dry skin can open allowing germs to enter.
