During the summer months, a proper foot care routine can keep your feet comfortable and attractive. Warmer weather and open footwear can lead to dryness, cracked heels, blisters, fungal infections, and sunburn. Regular cleansing, moisturizing, and nail care help maintain skin health, while wearing breathable shoes and applying sunscreen protect against common summer foot problems. Increased outdoor activity may also bring issues like plantar fasciitis or toenail injuries. A chiropodist can address these concerns with professional treatments, orthotic advice, and preventive care tailored to your needs. If you have foot pain or have problematic foot conditions, it is suggested that you schedule a visit with a chiropodist for treatment that enables you to enjoy the season with healthy, pain-free feet.
