PODIATRIST PROVIDES SUMMER FOOT HEALTH ADVICE

"We all need to remember to wear sunscreen on our feet when out in sandals. Our feet are exposed to the sun all summer and should be protected just like the rest of our skin. Moisturizing is also important, especially when you’re out on sandy beaches. And I’d caution folks to not cut nails too short which can make them prone to infection," says Aaron Corfield, DPM.

"Do not take your feet for granted and control the things that you can. Always  control the moisture of your feet and buy good, comfortable shoes that support your feet. If people have concerns, they should see their podiatrist as soon as they can," says Dr. Corfield.
