When we have lovely warm days, our feet will be able to enjoy being out in lighter footwear. This can prompt many of us to look more closely at our feet, as when they are on display it is not as easy to hide foot problems, and it might bring more foot problems to our attention!
One of the first things to be aware of when it comes to summer feet is the footwear that we usually tend to wear over the summer that has no arch support. Flip flops will put more pressure on the feet, so you might start to notice issues such as cracked skin on the heels, so having a good moisturiser for feet is particularly helpful over the summer.
Flaky and itchy bits of skin on the feet, particularly between the toes may be more than just dry skin however -it could actually be a sign of athlete’s foot, so if you suspect that you have this, you should go to a professional like this podiatrist Worcester based practitioner www.propodiatry.co.uk/podiatry/podiatrist-worcester who will be able to help you treat it.
You also need to keep an eye on your toenails over the summer. Keep the nails cut down, but don’t cut them too short, as you run the risk of an ingrown toenail. The best time to cut toenails is after you have had a bath or a shower as that is when the nails are soft, and therefore easier to cut.
