Are you keeping your feet happy & healthy?

Taking care of your feet involves more than just wearing shoes and trimming your toenails. Foot problems and injuries are common, and many health issues that affect other parts of your body can affect your feet as well.

Out pharmacists here at Advantage Pharmacy High Wycombe recommend daily care for your feet.

This includes:

• Washing and drying your feet

• Checking for redness, swelling, cuts, pus, splinters, and blisters

• Moisturising skin

• Make sure shoes fit and suit accordingly to your activity

• Diabetics should also talk to their diabetic educator or pharmacist regarding foot care as they are more likely to experience complications.

If you notice a change or problem with your feet, seek help. If you can’t see clearly, ask a family member or carer to check your feet for you.
