Skin Care
- Your skin is a barrier for infection and whilst it is intact it works well but as the skin integrity breaks down infection can get in.
- The skin on our feet is much thicker than anywhere else on our body and is obviously under strain every day as we walk, which can cause it to split and break. Especially around our heels.
- Regular use of creams to keep the skin moist and stop it drying our really helps with this.
- CCS cream is our recommended product, it contains Urea which helps pull the deep moisture in the skin to the surface and stops it drying out. Use this daily especially around the heel but all over the foot. However, always avoid putting cream in between your toes as you do want this area to stay dry to prevent weakening the skin there.
A video consultation appointment may be able to give more specific help and advice for your particular issue and foot.
