💅 Think nail polish and fungal nail treatment don’t mix? Think again.

You can keep your nails looking great and stay on track with your fungal nail treatment — it’s all about using the right products and keeping your nail environment clean and protected.

Here’s the winning combo we recommend at Lighthouse Foot & Ankle Center:
✨ Apply your prescribed antifungal solution (like Tavaborole).
✨ Follow with a light mist of Lighthouse Daily Defense Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Spray to eliminate lingering microbes and reduce inflammation.
✨ For dry or cracked skin around the nails, use Lighthouse Repair + Restore Serum — it’s rich in HOCl to soothe, hydrate, and promote healthy regrowth.
✨ Finish with a breathable, quality polish such as Dr.’s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish — and remove it after a few days to reapply your treatment.

💧 Pro tip: HOCl helps keep the skin barrier healthy and prevents fungal recurrence long after your treatment is complete.

🏓 Pickleball is fun — until it isn’t.

It’s one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, but it’s also one of the leading causes of new foot and ankle injuries we’re seeing at Lighthouse Foot & Ankle Center. From heel pain and ankle sprains to Achilles tendon irritation, pickleball can take a toll if you’re not careful.

The good news? Most injuries are preventable with the right warm-up, supportive footwear, and a little post-game care.

In our latest blog, we cover:
✅ The most common pickleball injuries
✅ Simple ways to protect your feet and ankles
✅ When to rest, stretch, and when to seek treatment

💡 Pro Tip: Keep a bottle of Lighthouse Daily Defense Hypochlorous Acid Spray in your gym bag. It’s great for cleaning and soothing minor scrapes, blisters, and skin irritation after a long match — without stinging or harsh chemicals.

Stay in the game and keep your feet healthy 👟

👣 Daily Diabetic Foot Care: Small Steps for Big Protection

Living with diabetes means paying extra attention to your feet every single day — because prevention is everything.
Here’s a simple daily routine to help keep your feet healthy, comfortable, and infection-free:

✅ 1. Daily Foot Checks
Take a few minutes each day to inspect your feet for redness, blisters, cuts, or changes in color or temperature. Early detection prevents complications.

🦠 2. Cleanse Gently, Protect Naturally
After washing, spray with Lighthouse Daily Defense Hypochlorous Acid Spray. This medical-grade, no-sting solution helps eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support the skin’s natural healing response.

💧 3. Restore and Hydrate
Follow with SkinIntegra Rapid Crack Repair Cream to deeply moisturize and repair dry, cracked skin — especially around the heels and toes. Healthy skin is your first line of defense.

👟 4. Keep Feet Dry & Supported
Change socks daily and wear shoes that fit well. Avoid going barefoot, even indoors.

🕯️ Consistency matters. Daily care can prevent infections, ulcers, and help you stay active and healthy.

Stop by our office or shop online at www.lighthousescience.com
to pick up your diabetic foot care essentials.
