✅ Daily Foot Care Checklist

Clean & Inspect

• Wash feet daily with warm (not hot) water and mild soap

• Dry thoroughly—especially between toes

• Inspect feet morning and evening for cuts, blisters, swelling, or color changes

• Use a mirror or ask for help to check soles and between toes

Moisturize Safely

• Apply fragrance-free lotion to tops and bottoms of feet

• Avoid lotion between toes to prevent fungal growth

Toenail Care

• Trim nails straight across never into corners

• Use a nail file to smooth edges

• Avoid cutting nails too short or using sharp tools

Footwear & Socks

• Wear clean, seamless socks daily (preferably white to spot drainage)

• Choose well-fitting, protective shoes no barefoot walking, even indoors

• Break in new shoes gradually and inspect inside before wearing

When to Call a Specialist

• Redness, swelling, or warmth

• Cracks, sores, or wounds that don’t heal

• Tingling, numbness, or burning

• Thickened or discolored toenails

• Frequent blisters, corns, or calluses
