Daily preventative care can help you decrease your risk of developing these other serious conditions like ulcers, infections, ingrown toenails, blisters and cuts/abrasions. Inspecting your feet 2-3 times a day to look for any changes/abnormalities, maintaining proper hygiene, keeping your feet warm in cold weather, encouraging blood flow in the feet, wearing appropriate fitting shoe gear and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle can discourage other conditions from developing.
