General Foot Care Tips

For All Feet

*Wash your feet daily. Rinse off all soap and dry thoroughly, especially between toes.
*Trim nails straight across, and not too short. Don't cut out or dig at corners.
*Do not trim, shave, or use over-the-counter medicines to dissolve corns or calluses
*Wear clean socks or stockings, changed daily. Don't wear any that are too short or too tight.
*Wear shoes that fit. (See Finding the Right Shoes For You.)

Some people's feet sweat more than others, and are more prone to athlete's foot. These tips may help:

*Wear shoes made of leather or canvas - not synthetics. Sandals are good.
*Switch shoes from day to day.
*Use foot powder.
*See your doctor if severe problems persist.
