😣 Ingrown toenail pain? You don’t have to suffer in silence.
Here’s what helps:

🧼 Soak feet in warm, salty water to reduce swelling

🚫 Don’t try “digging it out” yourself — it can make things worse!
✨ If it keeps coming back or gets infected, book in for safe podiatry treatment.

Here are 2 quick foot-relaxing moves you can try right now:

• Roll a tennis ball under your foot for 60 seconds two to three times daily
• Gentle calf stretch holding each stretch for 30 seconds + self massage them before bed

😮 Did you know hayfever season can make your feet itchy too?
Allergies don’t just affect your eyes and nose - sometimes they trigger skin reactions on your feet (especially if you’ve been walking barefoot on grass or wearing spring shoes). 👣

✅ Tip: Keep feet clean, dry, and moisturised, and check for rashes or irritation. If it’s persistent or uncomfortable, we’re here to help! 💙
