-
Inspect your feet and toes for any cuts, bruises, or sores daily. Use a mirror for hard-to-see areas. Pay attention to any changes in odour, colour or thickness of your toenails, and thoroughly dry your toes after getting the feet wet
-
Moisturize with urea-based creams daily on the tops and bottoms of your feet – concentrating on the heels and drier areas. Do not apply creams in between the toes as the added moisture can breed a fungal infection
-
If you have neuropathy, do not go without shoes, even in the home. This will prevent you from stepping on an object, or hurting your feet without knowing it
-
Inspect shoes for foreign objects, animal hair, pebbles, etc., prior to putting them on
-
Avoid socks with seams that may rub and cause blisters or other skin injuries. Wearing white socks are best to see if you have a bleeding wound
-
Avoid cutting your own toenails if you have neuropathy, or cannot easily reach and see your nails. In such instances, filing the nail is best
-
6. 切勿自行去除鸡眼、老茧或疣. Over-the-counter products can burn the skin and cause irreversible damage to the foot
-
Individuals with diabetes should not soak the feet as it can dry out the feet, and increase the risk of infection
