• Apply a good lotion to your heels and soles. Wipe off any
excess lotion that is not absorbed. Do not put lotion between
your toes, as excessive moisture can promote infection.
• Wear clean socks and well-fitting shoes every day.
Whenever possible, wear white socks so you can see a cut
or sore easily.

your foot care. Ask your health care
professional to perform a foot exam.
