Detailed explanation-1: -Wash your feet every day in warm (not hot) water. Don’t soak your feet. Dry your feet completely and apply lotion to the top and bottom-but not between your toes, which could lead to infection. Never go barefoot.
Detailed explanation-2: -Avoid soaking your feet, as this can lead to dry skin. Dry your feet gently, especially between the toes. Moisturize your feet and ankles with lotion or petroleum jelly. Do not put oils or creams between your toes-the extra moisture can lead to infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you have diabetes, you are especially prone to foot infections, yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections. 2 High blood sugar levels contribute to this process. As a result, the risk of infection is increased if your diabetes is poorly controlled.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wash, dry, and moisturize the patient’s feet. Make sure the water is not too hot and pat dry the feet thoroughly when finished. Lotion can be used on dry skin, but avoid the areas between the toes as this could lead to excessive moisture. Instruct the patient to avoid walking barefoot.
