With a brief change in the weather you may be looking to pull back on a pair of socks 🧦 if you do then follow the below for optimum foot health:
•Bamboo and wool: Pull sweat away from your skin to prevent fungal issues like athlete's foot.
•Avoid heavy cotton: It traps moisture next to the skin, which increases friction and the risk of blisters.
•Seamless toes: Reduce abrasive rubbing and irritation around sensitive toes, corns, or bunions.
Ensuring Proper Fit:
•Avoid tight cuffs: Socks that dig into your ankles or leave deep indentations can restrict blood circulation.

Did you know the skin on the bottoms of your feet is some of the toughest on your whole body?

• The skin on your heels and the balls of your feet is naturally thicker to cope with pressure and absorb shock every time you stand or walk.
• When there is extra friction or pressure, the body responds by building even more hard skin. That is how callus and corns start to form.

Book an appointment to reduce the discomfort from corns and calluses and also reduce hard or dry skin. Call 07960170883.

Spent hours at the gym or walking around in sweaty socks? You could be at risk for athlete’s foot – one of the most common fungal infections!

If you already have it, don’t ignore it! Otherwise, the fungus might spread or get worse!

But don’t worry – most cases of athlete’s foot can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams.
