How Can I Prevent Skin Problems on My Feet?
The most common skin problems on the feet are athlete’s foot, warts, and corns and calluses. All these conditions can usually be prevented by by a few simple precautions. For athlete’s foot and warts, it is important to always wear sandals at any public location such as showers, pools or whirlpools. Don’t wear other peoples shoes.
For corns and calluses, make sure you have properly fitting shoes that don’t place repeated pressure on areas of your foot. Calluses can cause corns, so it is important to try to keep feet soft and moist, and to use a pumice stone or sandpaper to remove tough callused areas.
