Footcare in US




Proper foot care is crucial for everyone. Unfortunately, if your feet are not taken care of properly, foot problems can develop quickly. 

There are a variety of foot problems that can take place as a result of improper foot care, and even the most ordinary problem can become worse and eventually lead to more serious complications.

Check your feet regularly, or have a member of your family check them.  Look for red spots, cuts, swelling, infected toe nails, sores, and blisters. This is important because you could have foot problems without  foot pain.  



To avoid foot problems, keep your feet clean and wear comfortable shoes and socks at all times. Some people have one foot that is larger than the other.  Be sure to fit shoes to the larger foot.  Keep your feet warm, and take care of toenails and calluses.  Make sure that you are are fungus free.

Toenail fungus is a  painless condition of the toenail that occurs when a yeast-like fungus grows under and within the toenail. The fungus can cause the nail to become thick, discolored, or  loose or cause it to crumble. 

Nail fungus can spread deep into a nail, causing the nail to discolor, thicken, and  look ugly.

Podiatrists and primary care doctors  are qualified to treat most foot problems. Visit a podiatrist on a regular basis.
