Woolen socks and blanket can be used at night. The presence of calluses, corns and cracks indicate that the feet are being overtaxed. The reasons for these have to be found and eliminated. Causes may be illfitting foot wear, a walking style that distributes weight unevenly on the feet or foot deformities. Gently filing with a pumice stone or callus file may reduce thick calluses after bath.
Blisters Never puncture blisters occurring due to overtaxing of feet or unsuitable footwear.
Place a piece of sterile gauze on the blister to protect the delicate skin if it becomes punctured. Footwear Nearly half the foot problems leading to foot ulcers and their infection can be prevented if footwear that is comfortable and fits well is used. The best type of footwear is flat slippers or shoes. If slippers are used, it is better to have straps that go over the toes. It is better not to have a grip between the big toe and the second.
