Corns and hard skin
To keep corns and hard skin under control use a foot file, emery board or pumice stone.
Don’t cut corns for yourself, or apply “over the counter” lotions or acids unless prescribed by your Podiatrist or Health care Practitioner.
If you have previously been advised that you can use ‘over the counter’ lotions check each year that this is still okay.
If your skin is dry, apply moisturising cream all over the foot, except for between the toes.
Keep feet warm, and exercise to improve circulation.
Seek prompt treatment for burns, cuts and breaks in the skin, and for any unusual changes in colour or temperature.
This is particularly important if you have diabetes.
