Diabetic Foot Care Tips by Dr. Tamara D. Fishman
Never soak your feet
Never apply heat of any kind to your feet
Never cut your own toenails, refer to a podiatrist or medical doctor
Never go barefoot
Never assume that the circulation or sensation in your feet is normal
Never use strong medications on your feet (be careful of over-the-counter preparations)
Never allow corns or calluses to go untreated
Never perform bathroom surgery on your feet
Never wear shoes that do not fit properly
Always wear white socks, as colored socks contain dyes
Wear acrylic fiber socks, which are actually more absorbent than cotton as it ‘wicks’ moisture away from the skin
Never keep your feet too moist or too dry
Seek medical attention immediately if you have any questions about or problems with your feet.
