• Ask your doctor about special shoes.
• Wash your feet every day, dry carefully between toes. Set a time everyday to check your feet for any red spots, cuts, swelling, and blisters.
• Keep your skin soft. Use lotion in moderation, over the tops and bottoms of your feet, but not between toes.
• Wear shoes and socks at all times. Wear comfort-able shoes that fit and protect your feet.
• Protect your feet from hot and cold. Wear shoes on hot pavement and cold floors.
