How to Take Care of Your Feet in the Summer

Monday, 08 August 2016 17:38

barefoot running7Now that the weather is heating up, it is even more important to take care of your feet. Calluses are often found on the feet, and they are even more visible during the summer when people tend to wear sandals. In order to get rid of those unattractive pieces of skin, you should use a foot file. Foot files are used to smooth feet and get rid of rough spots. Smelly feet are another foot problem that has an easy fix. There are roll-on deodorants that work to get rid of the odor that your feet may exude.

Every day foot care is very important to prevent infection and other foot ailments. If you need your feet checked, contact Dr. Todd Goldberg of Complete Family Foot Care Center, P.C. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep your pain free and on your feet.

Every Day Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. After all, without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks. 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 example.

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.

Also, 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.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office located in Littlestown, PA. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.
