• Check your feet daily for any changes or problems - ask a family member if you have trouble, or use a mirror.
  • Apply a moisturiser after bathing especially around the heels to prevent dry skin. F&AC has a wide range of creams available; ask your podiatrist what they recommend.

  • Wear supportive footwear such as a leather lace up shoe. Ask your podiatrist for their recommendation.  ( see Specialist Footwear )
