With Winter vast approaching, here are some tips on how to keep your feet healthy and warm ❄️

1) The correct footwear is essential in winter for keeping your feet warm and dry.
So for wet weather.. wear robust wellies with warm cotton/woolen socks. In icy conditions, wear solid walking shoes. This will reduce the risk of slipping. Indoors, wear slippers with a fleece like lining to keep your feet and warm.

2) Choose the right shoe that fits your feet to reduce blisters and rubs, calluses and ingrown toenails.

3) Wear suitable socks for the winter. They should have a high percentage of natural fiber. This will keep the warmth in and should prevent your feet from getting damp.

4) Wear insoles for added comfort and arch support.

5) Take care of your shoes. Clean after every outing.

6) Keep your feet clean. Wash your feet daily in warm, soapy water then dry thoroughly, especially in-between your toes.

7) Trim your toenails. Cut your toenails straight across the top and do not dig into the corners. File your nails after cutting to reduce discomfort from the nails catching on your socks. If you have poor vision or unable to reach your feet then please seek professional help. This will help prevent ingrown toenails and damaging your nail.

😎 Remove hard skin and moisturise your feet. The cold temperatures and change in humidity lead dry skin. Dry skin comes through the lack of the body being able to keep the moisturise in the skin. Moisturising your feet will soften the hard skin and make it easier to do those walks. Do not apply the cream or moisturizer in-between your toes as this will increase the risk of fungal infection.
This isn't recommended for people if you have diabetes, poor circulation or are immune compromised. We would recommend you see a podiatrist.

How to avoid….. warts and verruca.

Warts are small lumps that usually develop on the hands and feet. A verruca is a wart that usually develop on the soles of feet.
Warts and verrucas are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus).
There are 4 types of warts caused by HPV:
Common warts, verruca (plantar wart), plane warts (flat wart), and ge***al warts.
Most verruca and warts go away themselves. However, there is medicine for treating warts and verruca. You can get creams, gels and medical plasters which you can get over the counter pharmacy.
Cryotherapy is the process of freezing your wart so it can fall off.

How to avoid warts.
Don't share towels, shoes or socks. Do not scratch or pick your wart or verruca as it will spread. If you have a verruca or warts on your fingers, don't bite or suck you finger.
