Get your feet ready for spring and sandals!
As we look forward to the warmer weather, we say
goodbye to snow and warm layers. Moving from winter
boots to spring and summer footwear, means our neglected
skin and nails are now exposed. While the first thought is
to rush to the closest nail shop for a pedicure, there are
important factors to consider before deciding to put your
feet in their hands.
• Proper sterilization and instrument decontamination:
With the sheer volume of these shops it is difficult to
properly regulate each location’s sterilization practices.
As an informed consumer, you have the right to ask and
ensure the tools the Esthetician is using on your feet have
been properly cleaned and autoclaved to prevent the
transmission of infection.
• Nail cutting technique: The desired curved nail shape
requires the corners of the nails to be cut down on an
angle. This creates two dangers: First, the skin surrounding
the nail can be cut, creating an opening in the skin that if
not treated properly can cause an infection; and second,
the increased angle when the corners are cut back can
cause ingrown nails when the nail grows back. Have nails
left slightly longer which will allow the desired shape
without cutting down into the corners.
• For Diabetic patients: The risk is too high and it is not
advised, that you have your toe nails cut or callouses
shaved down by anyone other than a Registered
Chiropodist, Podiatrist or Foot Care Nurse. Contact us at
Omnifoot Clinic for professional foot care maintenance.
