Before foot washing, test the water temperature by hand (the water temperature is suitable for putting the water on the skin on the back of the hand). Never use hot water to soak the foot and cause scald to avoid skin damage. After washing the feet, gently dry them with a dry towel, including between the toes. Do not rub the feet with coarse cloth to cause skin abrasion.

If there are dry skin, cold and wet, edema, darkening skin color, loss of sensation, nail deformation or local swelling, pain and heat, it may indicate that foot lesions have occurred. It is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Choose the right shoes and socks, soft leather shoes, sports shoes are the most ideal shoes. Shoes should choose square head, to ensure that the shoes are slightly wider than the foot, breathable and have a certain role in resisting external forces. Do not wear high-heeled, pointed, hard skin and plastic shoes, but also often check and remove the possible foreign bodies in the shoes. Socks should choose cotton texture and wool texture as well as sweat absorption and ventilation. Socks should not be too big, do not wear socks with elastic band.
