03 Mar Footcare in Bellmore, New York
Are you experiencing foot pain? If you are suffering from foot pain, the worst thing you can do is ignore it as foot pain is not normal.
Foot doctors insist you check your feet regularly. It is important to note any changes in color or temperature and to look for discolored, thick, or cracks or cuts in the skin as it can be signs of developing fungus. Peeling or scaling on the soles of the feet could be a sign of athlete’s foot and growths of any kind are not normal.

Foot maintenance is important so make sure to wash your feet regularly. Water running down from your body in the shower isn’t cleaning. Scrub between the toes and make sure to dry them completely so fungus doesn’t start to grow. Be sure to cut straight across, but not too short, when trimming toenails. Be careful to not cut nails into the sides or cut corners as cutting on the wrong angle can cause an ingrown toenail problem.
Properly fitting shoes are also very important. Your feet are at their largest toward the end of the day so that is optimal time for shoe shopping. Replace old and worn out shoes as much as possible, and when wearing shoes, make sure they are suitable for the activity you’re enduring. Wearing running shoes while running would be better than flats. Besides alternating for activity, alternating shoes daily helps your feet stay healthy and well formed. It also helps to let them last longer. Keep in mind that walking barefoot makes your feet more prone to not only infections but injuries as well.
