Continuous wear and tear and pressure bearing can be truly demanding on our feet. Our feet thus become increasingly susceptible to foot disease, foot ailment, poor circulation, foot injury and foot pain. Quite often problems relating to our feet can be the first sign of certain more serious medical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, neuropathy and circulatory disorders. Prevention is better than cure. Check your feet regularly and consult primary foot care doctors who are qualified to treat most foot problems. Make a habit of putting your feet up when you are sitting or lying down as it helps to keep blood circulating to your feet.
Dry skin can cause itching and burning feet and to mitigate foot discomfort, use mild soap and apply moisturizing cream or lotion on your legs and feet before retiring every night. Fungal and Bacterial foot problems, including athlete’s foot, occur because we keep our feet inside shoes for most part of the day – which helps fungus to grow. If not promptly treated, a fungal infection can lead to foot complications. To prevent fungal infections, always keep your feet – especially the area between your toes – clean and dry.
Corns and calluses are invariably caused by friction when the bony parts of our feet rub against the shoes. Wearing right- fitting shoes or using special pads solves the problem. Foot warts are skin growths caused by viruses. They are sometimes painful and have a tendency to spread. Since over-the-counter preparations seldom cure warts, see a foot doctor. A doctor may apply medicines, burn or freeze the wart off. Spurs are calcium growths that develop on bones of your feet and are caused by straining of foot muscles. Treatments for spurs include using foot supports, heel pads, and heel cups.
