Moisturize your feet regularly with a good quality foot cream or lotion, especially after bathing or shower. Wear comfortable, properly fitting shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning.Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight or have high heels, as they can cause pressure and friction on your feet. Keep your feet clean and dry, especially between your toes, to prevent fungal infections. Soak your feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub them with a pumice stone to remove dead skin. Use foot pads or cushions to relieve pressure on sensitive areas of your feet. If you have any foot problems, such as corns, calluses, or ingrown toenails, it is advisable to see a doctor for proper treatment. It is also advisable to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to ensure your skin and nails are healthy. Finally, if your feet are severely cracked, bleeding, or infected, or if you have diabetes or other health conditions that affect your feet, it is important to seek medical attention from a doctor.
