Often, people take care of their bodies, faces, and hair more so than they do their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies and one that we should pay more attention to.

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas.

Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as make it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip-flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe.

Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, and bad odors and can absorb sweat.

If you have any questions please contact your local podiatrist.

What are the symptoms of a neuroma?

Neuromas most commonly form in the bottom of your foot between your third and fourth toes. This condition, called “Morton’s neuroma,” is known for being incredibly painful. As nerve tissue swells and thickens, you may experience:

✓ Burning
✓ Tingling
✓ Numbness

Morton’s neuroma sufferers often explain that it feels like there’s a pebble or rock in their shoe, or that their sock is bunched up. These abnormal and uncomfortable neuroma symptoms are treatable, so you don’t have to learn to live with them.

If you experience burning or stabbing pains in your forefoot, contact your doctor.

MYTH: You Can Ease the Pain of an Ingrown Toenail by Cutting a Notch in It

?➜ The signs and symptoms of gout almost always occur suddenly and often at night.

Intense joint pain. Gout usually affects the big toe but can occur in any joint. Other commonly affected joints include the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers. The pain is likely most severe within the first four to 12 hours after it begins.

Inflammation and redness. The affected joint becomes swollen, tender, warm, and red with a limited range of motion. As gout progresses, you may not be able to move your joints normally.

Call your doctor if you experience sudden, intense joint pain. Gout that goes untreated can lead to worsening pain and joint damage. Likewise, seek medical care immediately if you have a fever and a joint is hot and inflamed, which can be a sign of infection.
