Between visits, we recommended the following self-care tips:  

• Examine feet daily for blisters, cuts, and ingrown toenails.

• Put your feet up when sitting down to help circulation in your feet.

• Stand up and move around if you are sitting for long periods of time.

• Protect your feet from heat and cold.

• Keep feet clean and dry.

• Trim toenails with good clippers regularly. Trim nails straight across, smooth corners with an emery board or nail file.

• Smooth corns and calluses gently. Do not cut corns and calluses.

• Wear appropriate footwear.

• Wear shoes and socks throughout the day.
