1. Check your feet daily

Take a moment each day to look at your feet. Watch for redness, swelling, cuts, cracks, or changes in skin or nail color. If seeing the bottoms of your feet is difficult, using a hand mirror or asking for help is a good option.

2. Keep feet clean and dry

Wash your feet gently with warm (not hot) water and mild soap. Dry carefully, especially between the toes, to help prevent skin irritation or infection.

3. Moisturize—carefully

Apply a gentle moisturizer to dry areas such as the heels and soles. Avoid putting lotion between the toes, as extra moisture there can lead to skin problems.

4. Choose comfortable socks and footwear

Soft, well-fitting socks and supportive shoes can help protect your feet and improve comfort. Avoid tight socks or shoes that rub or pinch.

5. Be cautious with nail care

If trimming your own toenails is difficult due to vision, flexibility, or circulation concerns, it’s best to wait or seek professional care rather than risk injury.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If you notice signs of infection, increasing pain, open wounds, or sudden changes in your feet, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
