Prevention is always better than a
cure.

Inspect Feet Daily: Check for blisters, lumps, changes in skin color or flakey skin. Use a mirror to see the soles. For example verrucas found early are much easier to treat.

Prioritize Hygiene: Wash feet daily & dry thoroughly, especially between toes to prevent fungal infections like athlete’s foot. If left this infection can spread into your nails.

Trim Nails Carefully: Trim nails straight across and not too short. Incorrect nail cutting can cause ingrowing nails.

Wear Supportive Shoes: Choose footwear with a wide toe box. Ideally replace running shoes every 300 - 500 miles to maintain cushioning. Make sure your running shoes support you properly and you have no gait or postural problems that may cause problems.

Don't Ignore Pain: Pain in your feet, ankles, legs or hips should be treated as a "red flag".
It can be caused by a variety of things including an injury, over training, an illness, arthritis or poor gait. If you're not sure of the cause or treatment seek expert advice.

In most cases the same fungus that causes athlete's foot (& nail infections) can also cause 'jock itch' (tinea cruris).
This fungus can easily spread from your feet to your groin, via towels, hands, or clothing like underwear.

So to prevent the fungus from spreading, wash your socks and underwear separately.

Ideally wash socks at 60°C (140°F) as this is the established temperature to eliminate the dermatophyte spores.
If you can't wash socks at this temperature add a laundry sanitiser or antifungal detergent (e.g Lysol, Dettol) to the load.

This will also help stop your skin infection becoming a nail infection.

Ingrown toenails can be caused by cutting nails too short or too rounded at the edges, wearing tight shoes that squeeze toes, or a shock or blow to the nail. Our chiropodists are experts at removing part or all of the damaged nail.
