There are many things you can do to keep your feet healthy. Your health care provider should perform a complete foot exam at least annually - more often if you have foot problem. Check your feet every day. Look at your bare feet for red spots, cuts, swelling, and blisters. Call or see your health care provider if you have cuts or breaks in the skin, or have an ingrown nail. (Association, 2005) Also, tell your health care provider if your foot changes color, shape, or just feels different If you cannot see the bottoms of your feet, use a mirror or ask someone for help. You can also use Diachieve™ Moisturizing Skin Cream to prevent cracking or dry skin. Diachieve™ Moisturizing Skin Cream also provides relief for sore, red, dry, itchy, flaky, rough and cracked skin on hands, feet, elbows, knees and other areas. (Association, 2005)
