Maintaining everyday foot care is essential in keeping the feet healthy. It is helpful to measure children’s feet frequently, as this will help in determining what the correct size shoe your child needs. As the feet grow, it is beneficial to wear shoes that have adequate room for the toes to move freely in. This can help to prevent uncomfortable foot conditions from developing which may include bunions and hammertoes. If there are existing medical conditions such as diabetes, it is important to be aware of any cuts, scrapes, or bruises that may be on the feet. Additionally, when the toenails are trimmed, cutting them in a straight line can possibly prevent ingrown toenails from developing. If you would like additional information about the importance of daily foot care, please consult with a podiatrist.

Everyday Foot Care

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.

Mild relief may be felt when there is a protective pad worn over the corn.
