Are your feet Summer Ready?
This month, I’m thinking all about weddings as I recently attended my niece’s in Sweden. It was lovely, and being ‘forced’ into actually taking a well earned break (I am sure that resonates with all you busy busy people out there), I treated myself to a spa day- even Chiropodists’ feet can always benefit from some extra TLC!
Feet Deserve Care Too
Restorative for mind, body and soul, I can still visualise the wise words on a poster above their foot spa: “Your feet deserve some extra loving care”. Hidden away in shoes most of the time, we take these workhorses for granted until issues arise- often long after they could have been easily prevented.
Slipping Into Summer
Slipping into summer sandals, flip flops, or strappy wedding and celebration shoes, no-one wants to see a pile of blisters or unsightly corn plasters! While certain conditions should be treated by a registered chiropodist, common issues like hard skin can easily be treated at home with a simple footcare regime.
Beating Varrucas
Beating verrucas!
What are verrucas? White-coloured warts with black central dots on the soles of feet that most people will have at some point (so check yours, as well as the kids’!)
Do I need to treat them? Left alone, they can squat for months or years, sometimes causing discomfort, and they are very infectious, so get rid- don’t spread!
How can I banish them? Your chiropodist or pharmacist can supply the appropriate creams, plasters and sprays. Follow the instructions- it can take up to 3 months.
And how to stop them returning? Prevention is better than cure, so always follow a good foot hygiene routine, check regularly, avoid sharing towels, flannels, shoes and socks with other people.
However busy, take a moment to enjoy autumn’s colours and kick some leaves about!
