As diabetes is on the rise, more and more patients are having troubles with their feet. Along with moisturize for dry, itchy skin.
Examine Feet
Using a telescopic mirror allows you to look at all the angles of your feet so you can see any changes. This tool is extremely helpful for any one that is unable to pull their foot up and see the bottom. It is so easy to use: just sit in a chair and place mirror under your foot and move the mirror around to look for cuts, sores or any abnormal skin development. Engaging in proper daily care helps decrease any serious problems.
* Wall mount mirrors can also work. Be sure to place at chair height so you can prop your leg on a chair during a self check.
Healthy Feet Are Happy Feet
Once you've examined both feet, be sure to have daily sturdy, comfortable shoes to avoid bumping your feet and creating an injury. Always contact your physician if you are concerned and seek treatment.
* Rehydrate dry skin with a foot rejuvenating cream to soothe itchy feet and smooth callouses.
* To eliminate bacteria that grows on feet, try using a foot massaging foot scrubber, which are recommended for children, women and men.
