Look at the soles of your feet daily by sitting on a stool or chair keeping your leg on your leg on your leg on your other knee and using a mirror if it is difficult to see.

Inspect your feet each time you take off your socks. Look for small injuries or redness. If you observe such,immediately contact your doctor.

Wash your feet every day with lukewarm water,you can add one or two very small granules of Pottasium permanganate, or one or two drops of Dettol to the water.

Keep feet clean and dry them well after having a bath, especially between toes. This will prevent you from mycosis (fungal infection) use a table fan to dry the toes,it always works.

If your skin is very dry, use neutral creams like vaseline, Nivea or very little coconut oil, if humid, use powder.
THIS STEP COMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRYING OF FEET.

File your nails instead of cutting. Never use sharp instruments for foot care, because they may injure you.
NAILS HAVE TO BE CUT AT RIGHT ANGLES.Clean you nail cutter with dettol before using. DO NOT cut your nail ends in a curved manner.

Always check the inner part of your shoes with your hand each time before putting them on. Thus you will avoid injuries due to small objects, which accidentally may have got into your shoes.

Never walk barefoot. Wear soft, comfortable and well fitting shoes. Change your socks daily.

Never use cutting instruments and chemicals (astringent lotions and corn cures) for foot care. Do not use hotwater bottles and electric devices to warm up your feet, because you may not feel well enough the temperature, due to loss of pain sensation.
